Yes it has been noticed. And by Google too of course. The latest Helpful Content Update was designed to tackle the worst, and that update is still underway.
The SEO industry response is to double down on long form 'evergreen' content of 1000 words or so, along with more topical news stuff for domain authority.
It's an ongoing war. And in the middle - we poor users.
- throwaway128128 4y agoThe verbosity of all these SEO'd sites is just maddening. A recipe page is 90% a FAQ with vapid questions like "Is brown rice nourishing?" "Can I use filtered water with rice?" "Will the rice satisfy my family?" with multiple paragraph answers for each.
