It's weird that they don't really address the biggest reason Googles algorithm is worse now. The rampant exploitation of SEO.

Bad actors abuse the system in an attempt to be the first result, regardless of relevancy. It's harder for Google to sift the chaff out than it used to be, because they're flooded with content claiming to be related to the search keys.

You either die a hero or live and watch yourself turn into a villian.

Tom's hardware, woot, and most recently donut media just to name a few. All were once the place to go, they all were bought out by bigger interest and eventually became the villian.

Donut - how? All the giga-sponsors they take lately?

They've been bought by an entertainment parent company, which is why the glut of sponsorships along with their content leaning towards pure entertainment instead of including educational and DIY content. Zach and Jeremiah started their own thing recently and explain in their first video.

I just saw their Big Time video! Glad those guys have the guts to do that.
