not sure what do you mean ?
messages sent to usenet are not indexed by Google, Bing ... search
engines
so any activity on the usenet is local activity only, not attracting any interest from the internet world.
Google, Bing, Yandex etc. crawl web interfaces like mine, and others I
assume.
Usenet Google Groups worked really fine but Google has had secrete plans
to terminate service, so dismissed moderators to let spam to flood
Usenet Google Groups.
My guess is that they just didn't care. No secret plan, just neglect.
But the world is full of secret plans, so it's possible.
A single smart usenet admin, like Retro Guy, can keep his usenet groups
spam free
so Google should hire him to get Usenet Google Groups back into life
I'm retired. I don't plan on going to work for someone unless absolutely necessary.
There is nothing hot to spend one's internet life in sandbox like
present usenet, cut off from the real internet world.
Traffic is low, interaction is low
so usenet is really cut off from the real internet world (24h live
internet world)
I think some would argue that Usenet is in the real internet world, and
Google is, well, Google, a for profit company that uses the internet to
make money.
Without the internet, there is no Google. Without Google, there is still
the internet. The internet pre-dates Google.
my spell checker wanted to change 'pre-dates' to 'pee-dates'. ???
