@johnmu Trust in Google to find out what better works between your site and humanity.
@johnmu probably true, but a little to much drama at CNET 😀
@johnmu i had this kind of discussions at work. It's when SEOs start hallucinating a lot: we can't delete because internal linking, we should delete because crawling, we should transform "old" news to everygreen content... most of the time these discussions are without precise value. I mean, several 1000 articles is not a lot for a news site.
But what do they mean by "we are penalized"??? Sounds like they are trying to blame somebody for their own clean-up action to get rid of their own junk. 😀
"Unfortunately, we are penalized by the modern internet for leaving all previously published content live on our site.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
