How Google is killing independent sites like ours (housefresh.com)

Google regularly launches updates to its algorithm to continuously improve search results quality. Think of these updates as a refresh of the system where rankings change: some websites see an improvement while others see a decline.

We know that at the end of the day, Google will reward us if our readers find our articles useful.

Or that’s what we thought.

You might have noticed that no matter what you google, there’s always a selection of the same publishers showing up at the top of the results.

Everybody loses but the investment firm.

by. design.

it's so hard to watch people in late-stage capitalism still have faith enough in the integrity of the whole thing to give a go at it, and inevitably get smacked down by the few with all the dollar, as if it werent all rigged against them from the beginning. I hope theyve learned and pivoted their efforts into helping press the big RESET button rather than kicking the can down the road, no matter how pure the intentions

there's a class war on, and we're losing. honestly, truly, maybe we don't need an ethical review website right now, unless youre reviewing torches and pitchforks? I say this out of frustration that so many of the people behind that site will just pointlessly try to play by the rules again. the war needs more good fighters, not people who continue to swallow the lie that the way forward is playing by the current, just so laughably rigged game

i dont care that this whole comment is a cliche

cliches are cliches for a reason

fuck Google, the employees and shareholders

eat the fucking rich

Worst I ever seen of this is when discord was doing some NFT bullshit and everyone spent a week doing a boycott and making it clear they were never going to see a dime out of them, then Discord did like a 40% off sale on Nitro and suddenly they all went 😵[boink] 😃💰

Nobody is against capitalism because it's an immoral system, just because it isn't benefiting them personally enough, it's fucking exhausting.

Same with Reddit. They are now selling user data happily after their entire userbase revolted. Now nobody has a problem.

They don't want change, they just want to feel something for once in their shitty lives.
