I can't find the link anymore . it was a reddit comment that linked some forum post which explained how geocities died from google reducing traffic after an update.
Something similar [0] i found but not the one i am looking for.
The one i am looking for is a replay or a comment in a forum.<p>[0] <a href="https://ramblinggit.com/2018/05/15/the-day-google.html" rel="nofollow">https://ramblinggit.com/2018/05/15/the-day-google.html</a> .
May it be this one?<p><a href="https://www.techspot.com/article/2401-geocities/" rel="nofollow">https://www.techspot.com/article/2401-geocities/</a><p>I don't remember it was due to Google's update, but rather wrong decisions and yahoo (not Google)
