I'm always on board with "adapt or die" but I've lost income over the last few months and had to change my current and future strategy because I can no longer have a site with millions of crawlable pages (and have had to block google from crawling pages that I could previously let them crawl at an acceptable rate--so of course now they're out of SERPs and I lost that traffic)

Like how ridiculous is it that now when I build and operate sites I literally have to make sure there's not too many crawlable pages, or else google will molest my servers to death. And there's literally no way to tell them to stop, other than to forcibly block them.

when I started in this industry my entire business model and strategy was "make sites with millions of crawlable embedded videos and hope a few thousand of them rank." Such a strategy is now borderline unviable.
