Exchange directly? That's intriguing. I'm curious about the potential ramifications.
The change in Google Search Console error message from “Video is not the main content of the page” to “Video isn’t on a watch page” suggests a shift in Google’s understanding of what constitutes a “watch page” for videos. This may indicate a stricter interpretation of what constitutes a dedicated video viewing experience. It’s possible that Google is now focusing on pages that are specifically designed for video playback, with features like video controls, related videos, and comments, rather than pages where videos are simply embedded.
