Do you have anything in your niche (that you know of) has a featured snippet result? IF so when you search that have you noticed ads have been pulled back to just 1 at the top fo the page followed by featured snippet, people also ask then search results and ads at bottom of the page?

Do you have other businesses or side hustles to protect yourself from going broke? I wonder about this too.

seems i've not noticed anything with snippets, but instead of them along with ads i am seeing now Google Play apps at the top.
Half of them are not 100% relevant to what people are searching for.
I realized a year ago that I can't rely on SEO which Google dominates. Since then, I've setup a physical business and built more sites. And it's the best decision I taken so far in my life.

I'm really getting slaughtered right now. I've been pulling over 1k users a day consistently and now I'm lucky to even get 2-3 visitors an hour. 1 year old website, killer content (subjective, obviously), whitehat and all. "Just Focus on Content" my ass. Hopefully, this is just a temporary way to force businesses to buy more ads, but I wouldn't be surprised if it stays that way.

This thing is really sad and scary, it starts looking like your coming back up, then you are slapped again.
Mehn!!! Damn!! I just hope everything can settle down, this circle is pissing me off.
I just pray I have enough cash to invest in something else, I hate that my happiness depends on one thing.
This can give HBP.
I personally don't blame Google, I don't believe in all this conspiracy of "ads" and "bigger sites" I just see a company who are doing what they FEEL is the best but again, some get hurt others don't.
But I feel every body who survives from the SEO field should look for a way to branch out, because Google will fuck you up and it's not their fault, they don't owe us shit.

Traffic has plateaued. Feels like being kicked in the nut sack over and over again. Fuck you Google.
Folks @ CNN and BBC are not happy with the latest update, and I'm not surprised. Don't totally depend on SEO for traffic, you'll get fucked.
I wonder who still buys SEO services these days considering the dangerous monopoly Google enjoys.

Same! Finally seeing my rankings get back to normal (and some even better than pre update) after a long week of dropped rankings!
Still early to say but happy to see keywords gaining back positions!
to all of you guys who saw your ranking improve in the last 48-72 hours, did you notice that it got tanked again?

What else brings the amount of traffic as SEO? Paid ads? Social media?

This is us... Although the semrush sensor reported activity last Friday? We saw the dip start to happen on the Monday (we put it down to seasonal traffic - which does have a small impact on us) but figure it's more of a 5-7 day roll out much like @bartosimpsonio has said in the past..
Our average position has taken dive as well but that's OK it's no where near as bad as last Friday!
