i think their guess is right on the money

My best guess (and to be clear, this is a guess): Google decided they could no longer effectively identify and swat away SEO slop, and figured that just massively nerfing brand new domains was their next best option.

this makes a lot of sense if you’ve tried searching for literally anything nowadays – most of the results are generated AI slop for the specific keywords you’ve searched for – can only imagine the nightmare if you could do this for a whole domain subtree – such a shame that because of slop actually useful wikis have to suffer – abs atrocious

would you say the same for ICE? they also recruit from poor migrant communities because they’re most desperate and the pay and perks are good - would you say they’re justified in joining and terrorising the ones that didn’t?

and while I 100% agree that propaganda and the system failing them is the main reason driving that - we don’t counter the propaganda by normalising the poor-to-terrorist pipeline as “well the system sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do” - there are red lines and if we could collectively resist them - we starve the system from being able to force people into the meat grinder
