So, it seems that CCN will continue working:

It's interesting who will benefit most from this Core Update. From CCN articles it seems that UK tabloids have increased their traffic seriously, and we can't be happy about it. And it's obvious that this update didn't worked in favour of crypto websites because all big players lost big part of traffic.
It's shitty when your business totally depends on Google and one change can ruin everything.
You know, if some of these places chose to find a way to retain their viewers and have a consistent way to pull viewers back into their stories, or at least make it part of their reader's daily reading, they might be able to avoid massive drops like this. While I almost guarantee that Google is pulling some shady bullcrap behind the scenes to suppress these websites, they wouldn't need to be concerned about lower search ratings if they maintained a loyal audience. I don't like Google in the slightest, but a business can't exactly live on being found through searches alone for forever. It needs to build a brand and a reputation which develops loyal customers.
But hey, what
isn't getting censored these days? If it isn't a very specific line of thought with a sag towards government control, you're on the chopping block. The only question is when you get cut off.
