Thanks so much for this! I'd been noticing my independently published blogs' search traffic drop these past couple weeks and (as always) assumed it was a me thing... sounds like it's a Google thing. Time to go for a walk!

Also, it's fascinating that the update is helping Medium! 🕵️‍♀️

Whenever I hear folks unhappy about changes to Medium, I'm always like "y'all, have you see what Facebook and Google changes can do to writers and publishers??" Truly, part of the adventure with digital publishing is riding out these changes. Adapt or die! 🦈
