Another content publisher taken down by Google HCU and AI recaps. Same ol' story. Giant Freakin Robot is shutting down due to Google’s algorithm changes that favor big brands, leaving independent publishers like GFR nearly invisible online. Founder Joshua Tyler says Google…
How many other countries can you fit inside of Africa? A lot.
