heh I wonder if all the "old" content getting messed with and/or removed is causing issues with the algorithm/scraper.

For unauthorized scrapers? Definitely

For paid API usage? That tends to not be public for obvious reasons but, allegedly, people have, allegedly, done tests and found "deleted" content in the results.

That's why I edited everything before deleting it.
