Crypto community reacts to CCN's closure, Google or editorial policy to blame?

CCN recently announced its closure, blaming Google's "June 2019 Core Update," which changed key aspects of Google's search algorithm.

I suspect the closure of CCN is more than just down to a change in the Google algorithm.

Founder Jonas Borchgrevink noted that the site's SEO rankings had been worse in the past, but current levels could no longer sustain the team of 60 CCN now employs.

Actually their results went down after they went from being a purely crypto site to a general business news and political opinion site.

The Cryptofiend June 10, 2019.Was jarring to go from a Crypto News site to pro Big Business/Wall Street & overtly pro Trump stance.

It seemed contrary to many of the things crypto stands for & it was too much hassle to wade through the politics to get to the actual crypto news.

Typical crypto business behavior, as confirmed by the endless misinformation that came out of your rag.

In line with accusations from some commentators, there is evidence that CCN bought Twitter followers to potentially mislead readers and advertisers of their credibility.

CCN shutting down is actually good for the crypto industry.
