Couldn't agree more. Very very open to interpretation by Google on their own terms
Genuinely quite baffled at how many SEOs are celebrating Google redefining its spam policies and immediately handing out penalties, even to sites that don't actually break these reinterpreted policies.

Are we really okay with Google using the "I'll know it when I see it" approach to tackling spam?

Thanks @bronmaher.bsky.social for a well articulated piece on a complex set of Google platforms. Still think key Q is why does all the great local news content commercial publishers create not get visibility in Discover?
Google‘s smartphone-based content recommendation feed, Google Discover, has become the single largest traffic referral source for Reach plc, its audience transformation director has said.

The platform tends not to pick up hard news, preferring "soft lens" content
