Let's cut through the BS - Google doesn't care about our "quality content" anymore. They're literally turning the whole internet into a Wikipedia + Ad machine. Remember the 90s/early 2000s web that actually had soul? Now it's just AI regurgitating the same crap while they push more ads above our content.Here's my radical solution:Stop relying on Google. Period.

Google's recently updated it's algorithm, the November 2024 Core Update, which enhanced search result quality by promoting high-quality content and demoting low-value material. Similarly, the August 2024 Core Update aimed to boost high-quality content and demote low-value, SEO-focused material in search rankings. These changes maybe be complex algorithmic adjustments, also may hamper our adsense earnings and approval requirements.

How are these algorithm changes affecting your website or blog? Have you experienced any impact on your AdSense earnings or approval -processes?
What strategies are you using to adapt to these updates and ensure your content aligns with Google's focus on quality and user experience?

Feel free to share your insights, challenges, or tips to help others navigate these changes effectively!
