 It is discussed at the Yoast support forum:

 problems/

 Last post I made up to date with some tests/conclusions:

 I find that not only my website shows the “funny” links. Some examples:

 https://techcrunch.com/page/6/?cat=-1
 http://www.bbcamerica.com/page/3/?cat=-1
 https://variety.com/page/4/?cat=-1

 I tested on a test website.

 https://test.bikegremlin.com/page/2/?cat=-1

 Installed Twenty Nineteen and disabled ALL the plugins.

 If I make all the posts uncategorized, the “strange links” are no longer
 working (as they shouldn’t work any time).

 Looks like a WordPress itself is a problem, but it just got reported by
 Google after the Breadcrumb reports introduction.
