For those getting fed up with all the Google SERP results coming from Reddit can I please remind you of the Google operators. Just add -reddit.com after your query and it will not return anything from Reddit.
Or install a browser extension like Ultimasaurus or uBlacklist.

"My recommendation would be not to focus so much on the absolute count of links. ... over-focusing on links will often result in you wasting your time doing things that don't make your website better overall."
People keep quoting John's words out of context, giving the wrong impression about the intention of his advice. And, naturally, many people in the SEO community are slamming him over this out-of-context quote.
He was responding to a question about why someone's Ahrefs backlink report didn't show the same links as the Google Search Console report. And John's point was the guy was spending too much time fussing over links.
In fact, he was subtly implying that people shouldn't be using these 3rd-party SEO tools for their own backlink profile analysis. While it's true GSC won't show you everything, no SEO tool can show you what Google knows about or counts.
So focus on the things you can actually do something about.

Google's still delisted my 100% hand wrtitten site for "pure spam".
I'm looking at my "toxic links" in SEMRUSH and I was told not to bother to disavow these (unless I actually paid for links, which I have not) but there are a lot more than there were.
Almost all of them are either scrapes of my content and/or hotlinking my images though (which cloudflare blocks?).
I hate SEO, so disavow yes/no? Shouldn't matter, but I shouldn't be marked as spam. IDK.
3rd party SEO tools are useless for this kind of analysis. And their ideas of "toxic links" are nonsense.
You should look at what Google Search Console is telling you.
Also, Google's March 2024 update can take up to a month to roll out. It's going to do all sorts of crazy things in that time. Many of them will be reversed without people having to do anything.
Don't disavow links. That will just end up hurting you even more.

short version: we have a small set of bugs to fix and chores to do before an App Store release, and quote post UI will come after that, in version 1.8.
There's this thread on Y2k and it reminds me of the time I went to the corporate security website of my employer
and the date on the website was "September 23, 19105"
Sure, it's a simple display error, perhaps the smallest of the classes of bug that Y2k remediation could address, but that it was happening in 2006 was a damning thought.
Is this not why we have computers? Is this not the solution to the problem statement of "show me the diffs between these two spreadsheets"? Is Microsoft Excel that stupidly terrible?
Do all accountants have bad RAM right where their spreadsheets load?
as the product of Boomer parents, I know this well
One thing that got missed: since history is written by the "winners", Boomers will write lies about themselves like history books' lies about racism, slavery, Native Americans, the Civil War, etc. were written.
If your "entry level" job posting requires anything more than basic high school, it is NOT "entry level". You just want to pay a recent college grad $7.85/hr for a shitty job that has shitty management, and use "college" as an application filter. They can work at Walmart and at least get $11/hr.
This is practically every food service, retail, and Dollar Store worker's eternal plight.
(and YES, there's a reason I'm separating "Dollar Store" from "Retail". Go into a dollar store sometime (or just watch the videos that escape from them!), and then, if you have one, go into a Daiso (Dollar Store Japanese ver.). Like night and day.)
You know, for my entire childhood, I had to open the garage door manually. If the act of pressing a fucking button starts getting too involved, I can certainly go back there.
