So before 2024, any site i created with low comp keywords with rank easily withing a week or more and it wont flat line. However, after 2024 its different as any site i build even with extremely low comp keywords will not rank at all. I have no idea if Google did something that somehow causes me to not rank for any new site even if the keywords are easy or domain has a good DA value, i just dont rank anymore.

It not on page related because that is all good
it is not DA related because i had sites with 0 DA rank and also my other sites do have DA that im tryin to rank for
All posts and pages are indexed.

You could literally give me a list of extremely low difficulty keywords and backlinks and i still wont rank.

I have no manual actions/penalties as well on any domain.

I know its far fetched to think Google is targeting people but i dont understand. Im supposed to be ranking easily for these keywords but nothing. Just indexing but no rank. Even the images for each post is showing under ''Images'' when i type the keyword in google.

Its not indexing issue, google is just doing something to block me from ranking.

You can use ahrefs as well as GSC, which will give you an idea of rankings and impressions in particular (GSC).

Normally any site will get impressions, so take it from there.

Also it may depend on your hosting, how many sites you have, and if you have any kind of footprint.

GSC showed i was ranking when i published content within a week or so and my positions were good. the worst being position 10 but the rest were 1 till 4. The keywords are extremely low comp so assumed i will easily gain traffic.

I do use the same hosting for all the sites...

Google’s updates since 2024 have made ranking new sites harder, even for easy keywords. It’s about trust and authority now. Keep building quality content and links. ranking takes more time.
 
Google changed things in 2024. New sites don’t pop up quickly anymore, even on easy keywords. You need some age, a few good links, and brand signals before rankings move.

It sounds frustrating, but it’s probably not personal. Since your content indexes and images appear, Google is seeing the pages—but competition and their algorithm tweaks have made ranking easier keywords harder. Focus on stronger content signals, better user engagement, and building niche-relevant links; quick “easy wins” just don’t work like they used to.
