Reddit, LinkedIn, and Quora have seen a roughly 2,000% combined visibility increase in Google Search in the last 12 months. All three sites amount to around ~3 billion search traffic as estimated by tools like Semrush and Ahrefs (the total combined traffic is more in the ~5-7 billion range by my estimates). All three sites get manipulated with AI - Reddit for product reviews, and LinkedIn and Quora do it by pre-generating millions of topics (they disclose it is done with AI) and then inviting users to "contribute". Forbes recently started blocking sections of their sites[0] because in the next few days Google will release an update[1] that is intended to address the authority abuse talked about in the HouseFresh article. But I don't get the first part, the blatant AI spam and search result manipulation that is hurting the average blogger who can get thrown out entirely because an algorithm deemed it so. But that same algorithm rewards the bullshit I mention above. Can someone explain the logic here?
