... still one of the strongest signals Google uses to judge whether a page deserves to rank . But the math changed. Google's December 2024 and October 2025 spam updates devalued link networks, paid placements, and AI-generated guest-post farms . The old volume play is dead.

... Comment from Andrey Lipkovskiy(@lipkovskiy): Hi Mike. Thanks for the thread, now I know you're aware of the problem. I think that every active maker on the platform could name dozens of accounts that are involved in upvote farm activities. And it's quite easy to identify what products use fake upvotes to get to the top. A couple of days one product was actively promoted by the mafia, which allowed them to steal the #3 spot ... ... many people reach out on linkedin after i submitted my latest product here. this definitely changed over the last few years and is kind of annoying.
