Busily obsessed with search engines, databases, and online information collections since 1996. GOOGLE HACKS, OFFICIAL NETSCAPE GUIDE TO INTERNET RESEARCH, INFORMATION TRAPPING, etc. The NSA thinks I'm clever.

Hey Chris Long! Thank you, this was really good. (Also features Lars Lofgren, whom y'all should read.) 'The core issue is that these sites should never rank in the first place. Google’s algorithm simply isn’t strong enough to prevent this abuse consistently. Instead, the policy acts as a fallback – something Google can use to address egregious cases after they’ve already caused damage. This reactive approach turns into a never-ending game of whack-a-mole that’s nearly impossible to win. Worse yet, Google can’t possibly catch every instance of this happening, especially on a smaller scale. ' https://lnkd.in/ew7UwW4g
