GuestDecember 13, 2025 at 12:20 amHonestly, the spam reports feel like yelling into the void because they kind of are. Google isn’t going to manually nuke a site just because you filed complaints.
DMCA is your best bet if they’re actually ripping content. That has teeth. Otherwise you’re just waiting for an algo update that may never come.
Focus your energy on what you can control. Double down on your own content quality, build actual authority, and let them themselves with their own rope eventually. Sites like that usually eat a core update eventually, but “eventually” could be another 18 months.
