Google's January Core Update 2020, is this update flushing out sites who buys link's?

Actually the problem is each person is viewing this update differently. A guy from Britain told me that his site is doing well for kw's which are popular for Asian traffic but not doing well for those which are from his own country.

Another case which came to my attention is that niche's are hit that's right. But niches are certainly hit by country. As if any niche in US is hit hard then its not necessary that the same niche is hit hard in India or in European countries.

Coming to your topic. I will say that yes somehow we are also seeing this pattern. But we are seeing for those sites only which were too much exposed (meaning links looked unnatural). Sites whose links are relevant remain unchanged. Whether or not they have gained new good positions we have to determine it once the dust settles.
