It looks like we are seeing some Googler accounts being taken over by sites that sell SEO services, or dare I say it, spammy or low-quality SEO services. Martin Splitt from Google let his X account go during the whole Twitter to X Elon thing and eventually that account was picked up by a search engine indexing service

The amount of times that I cited what Martin Splitt said on his X account is just too many and those articles don’t just show up on my site, tons of SEO news sites did the same

So when you look at his old X account at @g33konaut – you will see this:

This reminds me of people buying up expired domains from famous companies and then making it a porn site

I wish Martin just stopped posting on X but held on to his account, like John Mueller did
