MODERATORS
Google allows ANYONE to submit links for crawling. It will also trust any hostname with any garbage content.
I've been fighting the battle against spam from their platform for the last two years. I can no longer trust their user agents like I did in the past.
If I see one more "SEO" query in Mandarin for "sexy little sister" or "sensual massage" with a telegram handle I'm going to lose my shit. They need some major policy changes if they want to maintain any source of credibility.
