Had a nsfw domain for years rarely used. Started a niche tube site this year with AI enriched content. Then on Aug 15 onwards gsc position detoriated and traffic dropped massively. I am not able to find root cause, I feel it could be:

1. Google SEO Aug update.
2. Site was consistently hitting resource limits during this period because of meta / anothropic / other bots, and I had to turn on managed challange on CF for a couple of days for all bot and non bot traffic.
3. I had added 20-30k more pages during this period which I later cut down massively from sitemap as it appeared spammy.

I am currently working on boosting quality of content, information gain score specifically. Not sure if will work. Most annoying part is I don't know what is hitting me. Do you guys see any scope for recovery?
