Probably the best explanation by far.
#QueerMovie Ending Explained & Symbolisms: What Does The Epilogue Mean? https://t.co/51eMd1BcU4 через @dmtalkies
@searchliaison@dannysullivan@JohnMu A few years ago I traveled to Peru and wrote the first guide for Huchuy Picchu, which was a newly opened hike at that time.
My blog post ranked #1 on Google for years, which makes sense, because I did the hike myself and other Peru websites just recycled what I wrote without going there.
Before HCU, people stealing my content like this weren't a big problem because Google had the sense to rank me over them (Bing still has me at #1).
After HCU, Google has dropped me down to #14 in the search results and I'm being outranked by lots of spammy commercial pages using MY photo of MY wife, while recycling MY words with AI.
This is one example of many. I try to be patient at first, but it's been 6 months.
At what point is Google liable for promoting stolen content like this while demoting me, the original author, without a fair explanation? How is this update helpful?
@bernardjhuang So the original voice won't be heard until one becomes a brand and they won't be able to become a brand if the audience is not able to find out how authentic they are? is Google corp closing the market for new writers and creators then?
@bernardjhuang If this is true then this means if a small publisher covers a topic called "X", and a day or two later, a branded publisher reads the content and writes a similar article on "X" then the small publisher will be pushed to the depths never to see the dawn again?
