I’m wondering if enforcement of this policy is entirely manual, and thus focused on the worst violators, but otherwise leaves out other websites which are being abused through hacking (spam articles posted on otherwise legitimate blogs) or through accepting third-party offers for paid articles.

I’m also a little troubled by the description of parasite SEO given in the linked article[1]; in that sense it seems any website which branches out to a new niche would stand to be penalized.
