I noticed that a lot of blogs, YouTube channels and even small news outlets and lot of code repos stopped producing content in Feb-April 2024, did something specific happen ?

I am asking because I find it weird for nonprofit organizations and normal people to stop at the same time for no apparent reason.

    That is most probably it, I heard about it but never connected the two things together.

    Thank you for your insightful comment.

      You’re welcome. It could honestly be anything technical with a site like rendering issues or inadvertently blocking crawlers through robots directives, but I’m betting it has to do with the rankings, especially if you’re seeing them come back in the search engine results pages (SERPs).
