Giant Freakin Robot / Joshua Tyler / Nov 5, 2024
“After relaunching Giant Freakin Robot in 2019, the site grew to a readership of more than 20 million a month, through 2021 and 2022. Then Google decided they didn’t want independent publishers around anymore. Most entertainment keywords have now been given to one big company, whose numerous sites own the top slots for nearly every entertainment-related query of any substance. No one can find our site to read it so that 20 million unique visitors is now a few thousand a month.” JB
