I’m not so sure. There are many extremely active forums that exist, particularly for specific hobbies. In my case for example, if I google for “subaru brz forged wheels” I get nothing but vendors and product pages. But if I add “ft86club” to the query a great many forum posts appear. In the past those type of forum posts would appear ahead of vendor pages.
