Sure. Yeah, same here. It’s not even a clean drop, which is the annoying part — just this constant SERP wobble where your page’s there, then it’s buried under AI mush, then some random garbage outranks it for no good reason. Affiliate stuff does seem to get hit harder, or maybe it just *shows* the damage more because those pages live and die on clicks. Google’s been doing that lovely thing where it pretends the result is “helpful” while tanking the actual page people wanted. Real genius stuff. I’m not ready to call it a full on collapse yet, but it’s definitely not normal. And yeah, tracking it is a pain because one day’s data means basically nothing now.
