The biggest reason was simply that we were being penalised for having duplicate content, which Google are able to detect.

We definitely over index on content added post-fork, which makes sense given that we're not competing with Fandom for those searches.

According to Google Search console, in the last 3 months we've had 32.9M impressions and 4.39M clicks, which is nothing to sniff at.
