Google now uses an ML classifier to assert the “helpfulness” of content. Your entire website gets penalized if the algorithm thinks your site is “not good enough”. And so far, for the last 8 months, not a single person has had their site reinstated after this penalty. That is the very definition of being robbed.

If you never had the right to have people find your website, you are not getting robbed. You can only get robbed of things you have some right to.

  Not sure what you are getting at. Care to elaborate? Google wouldn’t exist without websites to index.

    Its not robbery if you never had the rights to it? You misused that word.

      What would be a better word, given the context?

        maybe "loss of income for content creators"?

    In that logic, someone removing their websites robs Google of content.
