It looks like they misunderstand how to improve their SEO ranking
They really don't. They're going to hurt their domain authority and back links.
It's more valuable to make an update to past pages because Google sees it as useful content that is being maintained.
You're supposed to make tweaks once a year so it's not stale, not nuke yourself.
TBH this doesn’t make me certain this tactic won’t work, Google hardly seems to know how their SEO works. They sorta intentionally do this so they can blame anything suspicious on their black box, “AI”.
Yeah I own an SEO business and that's not how any of this works
