Content websites still work for you guys?

Hi,

Been managing content websites for as long as I can remember, somehow automated things, but real writers, real content, news type articles. But nowadays, they don't work anymore, this happens every few years but they always rank back. Now everything seems down due to how Google manages things. I can only see social media sites ranking, reddit like.

Do news-type content websites still work for you? Do you guys still have traffic and use mediavine/adsense?

It’s like trying to swim upstream these days.

Google’s algorithms are like that cranky old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn.

If you’re relying on news-type articles, you better have a secret sauce to stand out in the sea of social media noise.

Mediavine and AdSense?

They’re still around, but it feels more like throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.

You’ve got to get creative or find a niche that hasn’t been beaten to death yet. Otherwise, you might as well be yelling into the void

This is what I'm talking about, since this AI thing started, everything went to shit, nothing is real anymore, Google doesn't know what to rank in my opinion.

the dead internet theory is gradually becoming a reality
