May 2022 core update
Today, we're releasing a core update, as we do several times per year. It's called the May 2022 core update. As a reminder, nothing in a core update is site-specific. Those who seek to perform well with Google Search generally, including with core updates, should look to our previous guidance on what site owners should know about core updates.
If you have any feedback about the May 2022 core update, you can comment on this forum thread.
Update June 9, 2022: The May 2022 core update rollout is now complete.

Whatever happened to uniqueness test? It would make sense where the content is deserving to be placed above, but the algorithm seems to just blindly give importance to the domain authority first ignoring every thing else. It seems all bloggers who followed Google's advise of not paying attention to backlinks and focus on creating great content have been wiped out and been made to pay the price with interest.

"Websites with high domain authority"
"This is happening even when these high DA websites "
DA (Domain Authority) is a third party metric that does not measure how Gogle evaluates, Google doesn't use it, it is not related in any way to that third party measure
Some references that you can explore

and there are more older references, and currently, surely, but maybe that helps to take a reference about this

" esto esta muy mal deberian regresar a como estaba al menos habia resultados que eran utiles a las personas. "
Si consideras que una búsqueda no está entregando resultados relevantes y relacionados con la intención de la búsqueda, puedes utilizar el enlace en el footer [Enviar comentarios], de esta forma, el equipo de Calidad de Búsqueda de Google lo revisará
no obstante, debes tener en cuenta algo sobre lo anterior mencionado y respecto de esto que mencionas:
"Hemos perdido toda la posición que mantuvimos durante 17 años"

After this May update, I feel that website that is ranked Top 1 is a website that clearly has no expertise in the field of niche markets. For example, a website selling consumer goods, selling confectionery, selling toys, ... but they have a post about forex, they are at top of the google search results.
Indeed, for those with expertise in reading that content will know that content writer clearly has no forex expertise. The person who wrote that content may have taken the content somewhere to edit it or used google translate, but writer does not understand anything, because it is not simply that he does not have expertise and knowledge in that field.
This is my suggestion, thank you for listening

, which I was devoting much love and dedication even had opened a youtube channel so that they could benefit from this site and its valuable content. This new update has sunk it and relegated it to the most absolute ostracism without knowing the reason, a little clarification of this movement of the core would help us to know such a disaster, thank you Juan.

@juan That's certainly dramatic. I think we need to dig more deeply. How old is your website? How much duplication is there with the YouTube channel? It's possible you would have seen this impact even without Google's update if something else (such as something technical) is wrong. May I recommend opening a new thread for more analysis and help?

Aguardo retorno.
