Google buried my popular open source project deep in its search results. It's a very niche technical field with niche keywords but it shows all the scams and paid services on the front page and my project is not even in the first 5 pages when I type exact keywords that are present in the page. It only shows my project when I type its exact name.
It feels like Google is actively discriminating against my project in its algorithms. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some code in the google algorithm which is something like if (untrustedDomain(domain)) score -= x and they probably have some highly paid 'engineer' maintaining this blacklist. It definitely feels like this.
