Black Hat SEO Manual actions becoming permanent?

As per the title seen a lot of these kind of videos starting to show up on YT based of this tweet:

https://twitter.com/x/status/2016582913043882107

"Google isn’t asking "Did you fix it?" anymore.

They’re asking "Should we ever trust you again?"

And in many cases, the answer is now no."

I suspect this has something to do with the number of AI websites that have been created in the past. They just don’t give that much leeway anymore.

Based on the tweet it's back linking as well not just AI

We’re seeing sites that:

- Mass deleted tens of thousands of pages
- Replaced entire teams, topics & policies
- Fixed every technical issue known to mankind
- Disavowed tens of thousands of referring domains
And sometimes all of the above!…still getting stone cold rejected.


I figure the way 'prove you are human bollocks' is going eventually having a domain will require verification of being human THEN if they "google" has burnt a domain and then you can prove you are a new owner they will lift any bans / manual actions.

That's where I think this is going.

Try to ask back questions, what are the changes you think it's required for submission.

I had a manual action penalty to a site in 2019 for link farming. My site didn't have any external links, not even affiliate links. I only had links from social media. GSC showed only fb, reddit, and pinterest links. There are some low authority contextual links (10-15). They kept rejecting my appeal. I couldn't even find any backlinks from Ahrefs. I disavowed those low authority links and submitted appeal, they didn't accept it. I kept submitting a new appeal every time they reject it. I didn't do anything else. They eventually gave up and lifted the penalty in 2023. But most people give up as it's a universal fact that Google is stupid.

And yet nothing has ever been fucking done about malicious linking. Are we expexted to keep full-time disavow guys too, now? lmao
