Ok, so after racking my brain, switching hosts, examining my theme etc, I started researching my competitors in Semrush. There are probably 10-20 of us who are consistently posting similar content (niche is small scale TV shows) so I know who everyone is. However about 5 of those are monster sites writing about 99% celebrity gossip + 1% of the stuff we write about, and valued at 100k - 1 million + and the rest of us are little guys competing with them (NOT STEALING) for the 1% and outranking them sometimes. I wanted to see if anyone else lost traffic.
The monster websites (which are 4-12 years old) are unchanged. But when I looked up one of the little guys (like me, also around 2 years old and with similar traffic) Semrush shows an identical drop in traffic following Oct 19th. IDENTICAL. The graph curve looks exactly the same and the amount of traffic dropped is exactly the same. So it looks like we are being pushed out and the big websites get to stay.
