Traffic dropped on Oct 3, should I disavow spammy links?

advice on disavowing links

[morpheus83]

Our traffic has dropped considerably since Oct 3rd, not sure if its the HCU, Core or the Spam update. Analysing the dates we think its the Spam update. On checking the top linked pages on Google Search console came across the below (check screenshots) - tens of thousands of spam links from weird domain names (none of them open now). We are thinking of making a list of these domains along with the crappy ones from ahrefs and disavowing them. I do believe Google has a strong system where it understands link spam, buts it an algorithm in the end so just want to do it manually. Has anyone had a similar experience?

i think the spam update targeted the spam sites themselves, not sites that have spam links pointing to them. maybe you've got some thin content on there that you could improve or consolidate?
most people say disavowing links is unnecessary these days, so if it was me i wouldn't touch them, just in case you disavow some useful ones

Disavowing is not necessary. Google is able to tell what links are intentional and which are automated links. They say you are better off not to spend time documenting those unwanted links, they disappear on their own.

Turn your energy elsewhere. G deprecated their disavow tool/function quite some time back.
