Looks like they are taking feedback seriously. There are many small websites who do not have huge amounts to pump into SEO but still produce great content.

You need to do a lot of things correctly though. It doesn't mean every single small website is going to do well on Google from tomorrow.

It no doubt is. It will change the game immensely. It is like quality small players doing well on TikTok and YouTube.

I heard there are some bugs and some sites got affected. I am not sure big or small ones.
