  • Google and its ocean of SPAM bailing from Usenet

    Before the spam, they were a fairly efficient mechanism for posting, even without filtration. But, being money-driven, usenet didn't do it for them.
    Effective from 15 February 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new Usenet content. Posting and subscribing will be disallowed, and new content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and searching of historical data will still be supported as it is done today.

    Many groups are no longer findable on Google.
