> dmv.org lived by Google and, it seems, it will die by Google. Several SEO blogs report that, sometime in 2019, Google seems to have applied aggressive manual adjustments to a list of government-agency-like domain names that include irs.com (its whole own story) and dmv.org. Their search traffic almost instantaneously dropped by 80%.

lol, that's funny and ironic.

Honestly, I think it's because they are competing with google ITSELF.

Google has gotten to the point that it is intricately interwoven into the official websites, like www.dmv.ca.gov and www.ftb.ca.gov and www.irs.gov

google wants you to go to the real government websites and it gets the data.
