I am seeing totally messed up SEO titles, both ours and the competition, especially in brand reviews. For example if the SEO title is "Nike sneakers - the best sneakers for 2021" Google is showing something like "Sneakers for 2021" and that's it, even if the search query is "Nike sneakers". Not sure yet if is affecting the rankings as many competitors are fucked up as well, but damn those are ugly titles, totally ruining the CTR.
Yep. The H1 with dashes in between each word is being used as title for top ranking pages somehow.

Yes, majority of the sites have experienced this in the past week or so.
No doubt, it's affecting CTR

When Google continues to go this route, it seems like another measure for pushing their ad revenue imo.
I think they see that a lot of people are skipping the ads to dive directly into the organic SERPs.
Maybe they want to experiment with formatting the organic results like the ads.
In Google Ads, you're very limited to what you can put in the title = 3 titles / 90 chars total.
Most of the time just the first 2 titles are showing up, so it's 60 in many cases.
That might be a disadvantage for the advertisers vs. publishers.

Well I want to fix it.
Changing the title seems to help a bit ..

This is first time ever I think Google made a fucking stupid change. I have some suspicions why they did it, but still - its stupid change that is bad for the webmasters, bad for the users and bad for Google itself.
