The algorithm gives and takes.
While on the one hand, Google Search Console informs me that PianoTell content is being aggressively de-indexed presumably due to budget reasons, anecdotally, the ranking of the main site seems to have recovered from the previous penalty. Are others seeing this or am I only seeing personalized results?
Search for "piano forums" or "piano forum" or "piano discussions" and hopefully you'll see PianoTell on the first page.
If you do see PianoTell, please click it! There's a chance that signal will feed back into the algorithm... 🧐
