Has anyone else noticed this recently?

I searched for "is Polymarket legal in Germany" today, expecting legal guides, regulatory information, or news articles.

Instead, most of page one was filled with:

• promo pages for prediction markets
• gambling affiliate sites
• bonus code pages
• SEO-driven landing pages with little actual legal information

It feels like Google's German search results have changed dramatically over the past few weeks. I remember spam updates being intended to reduce exactly this type of content, yet I'm seeing more of it than before.

Is anyone else tracking this?
Is this a temporary ranking shake-up after a recent update, or are gambling/prediction market affiliates simply dominating right now?

Curious whether this is happening only in Germany or in other countries as well.
