Hey, thanks for covering my post. And the second reply from Google was super interesting (which is now in my post). Seems Google is improving its systems for identifying when content on subdomain or in a subdirectory is "independent or starkly different from the main content of the site." So it's not the 'Site reputation abuse' algorithm being tested, but another system is algorithmically handling those areas of the sites being impacted... Again, interesting. :)

Super interesting Glenn, thanks for the update. Thats super interesting, and a great update to the story!
Thomas' TH-cam channel's how to videos basically sound like a TH-cam version of the niche blogs we were all building 2020-2022.
Exactly! The answer to the question "Where did all the niche website traffic go?" is often "To TH-cam", at least for Howto queries.
