What are you even talking about? That's not how SEO works in the slightest....?

Lol am I still reading HN or is this Reddit?

You can see the Core Web Vitals. What modern day news organizations are doing is nowhere close to that.

Google rewards them by ranking them so high. In any case, Google doesnt actually give a shit about any core web anything when they’re raking in the adsense monies. These are simple distractions, they know which side of the bread is buttered.

It's the advertising arm of Google rather than the search part that incrntivises this stuff.
