Can we just ... not use this word anymore? Taboo Gaslighting?

Yes. This happens. Because the alternative is these "experts" destroy the whole Internet. I would far rather have zero S.E.O. "experts" than zero Google.

- bpm140 2y agoGaslighting has a very specific definition — lying to someone in a way that causes them to question their own reasoning or grasp on reality. For folks who are just finding out they never stood a chance because Google does indeed have a “small site” designation, they probably feel pretty manipulated. I’d rather not have tens of thousands of small business owners wasting their time trying to figure me out how to work within Google’s system when it’s all a tissue of lies.
