Comment on Google Is Killing Retro Dodo & Other Independent Sites

Huh… I’m not sure. Retro Dodo is got nice enough YouTube videos, but their written content could be summarized as:

“Reviews” for devices that didn’t come out yet, with extremely generic predictions and very little content.

“Top games” lists or other low effort retro gaming content, some of which was borderline AI generated given the whole “Super Mario is a classic that all gamers must play, move Mario and jump to excite your day”

And reviews for actual products that came out, though often suspiciously positive and unaware of issues other reviews had caught.

Which ultimately is going to get interpreted by Google as low effort content farming, which is indeed how Google should interpret it, as it’s correct.
