they named themselves Syrus hashtag Blog? like, on purpose?

In March, Google said it was altering its algorithms to tackle spammy AI content after 404 Media reported that Google News was still boosting spam sites. Just removing the spam sites from Google News is too much work or something.

now now David, having a small team maintain a blocklist wouldn’t be very Google scale. instead they have to deploy a myopic fucking algorithm designed by the same software powerhouse that decided we don’t want to see an article if the author’s name looks too foreign

It's a mystery how Google News adds things. They added my crypto blog, for example.
