Yeah, I’m seeing the same kind of mess on a couple properties. One site got clipped hard, another just started drifting down like a dead balloon. What’s annoying is the pattern isn’t even clean enough to test against. Rankings wobble, traffic drops, junk stays put, then some random page with half the effort somehow jumps in. Hard to pretend there’s some neat “quality” story going on when the SERPs look like that. I’d still want to separate update noise from something site-specific though, cause sometimes one section gets hit way harder than the rest and it’s not always the whole domain. But yeah, this one feels ugly either way. That’s been my experience anyway.
