Expect those spam updates to keep rolling.
Google is not dumb. Well, at least not as dumb as many online publishers think...
It has been under a tremendous amount of pressure lately because of decreasing advertising revenue.
If you've been following Google and online advertising in general, you should know that a lot of these platforms are experiencing lower ad revenue levels because of the meltdown in the crypto market.
Ad revenues were popping during the crypto heyday of just a few quarters ago because these crypto firms would buy up large advertising blocks in the major platforms.
That's no longer happening.
So Google is under pressure to "maximize" the quality of their users' experience.
They've defined this mission as partly cutting down on "web spam."
This includes AI-generated content, republished content, "low-value" content, and other common content features that can fall into the "spam basket."
Expect such spam updates powered by artificial intelligence to continue rolling out for the foreseeable future.
It's an arms race out there, and that's why if you're going to be using AI-generated content, you better invest in having your stuff edited.
Otherwise, it's going to be an uphill battle.
