Ya, that is what is frustrating here.

A lot of us believe that Google trained their AI on spam websites, but in the process, the AI now identifies a lot of things that independent websites have on them versus big brands like Forbes, which spam and license out huge sections of their websites to spammers. So we got pulled into this and Google doesn't care about the false positives.

At this point, a lot of websites are not coming back. So get used to Forbes and other large brands being the only results along with AI bots on Quora.
