"It can take effort to moderate" Hah, I run a database/wiki (kpopping.com) and it's almost four fulltime jobs per week (150ish hours) to moderate and maintain and we've been doing it for eight years. Oh well, I don&

I just tried Mojeek and it's is probably the worst engine I've ever used. My first query I went with something standard out of my niche, "minju kpop" and #1 result was deepfake porn. The subsequent searches in other nich

I chose to go with a $3 subscription model myself, at that cheap it's just a waste of time to go through the unsub process. Cha Ching.

These sort of moves were made by pretty much every single multiplayer game around from the mid 2010s forwards. Even at the time it was very obvious what would be the result. But the casuals and new players loved it for a while $$$ Wouldn&#x

Exactly, it was such a unique time... I can't even wrap my mind around all the trends that cascaded together to create that magic but from today's vantage point it doesn't look like anything will ever compare to what we had

DnT died in vanilla and Napster joined during the reorganization led by Kiberian and a few other old DnT on Blackrock, yeah. It was an interesting time for many reasons, like you said the first waves of casualitis (lol) were sweeping throug

Back around in World of Warcraft around 2009ish, there was a rogue named Napster that someone invited to the guild I was in <Death and Taxes> as a casual/friend. I never found out if he was actually the founder for real but I alw

There's certainly a system behind the scenes on twitter accounting for links-- I have many times your followers (80k)since I have abused the system (mostly though giveaways from my sponsor) my links often get many times fewer than hund

We're going to see a lot more SEO scams coming from social media platforms now that Google is promoting places like reddit and quora. Even on rSEO you can see moderators there asking themselves questions from alt accounts subtly promot

Eh, I'm a few miles from NYC and have the misfortune of being a comcast/xfinity customer and my packetloss to my webserver is sometimes so bad it takes a full minute to load pages. I take that time to clean a little, make a coffee

Why do Kagi supporters keep insisting I am supporting Google? I save all my best vituperative comments for how Google has destroyed the internet. I am only saying Kagi is just as shitty as Google for my queries and certainly is using their

Lol, it's just complete bullshit marketing on that page. But I do find it fascinating how they obfuscate what is actually happening behind the scenes and cannot come out and clearly say how their technology works, or that they are usin

Death to small media companies! You should have gotten some VC money if you wanted to make products for people, you poor pieces of shit.

> And this is how I know you haven't used Kagi at all. I guess the identical search results in my niche are an example of convergent enshittification of both Kagi and Google then

by p3rls 2y ago
I won't use it. I am pushing back on your belief that it has figured something out about anything, because to me it looks like Kagi takes Google's results and then makes them worse. I have total shit ranking #1 on Kagi and Google.

by p3rls 2y ago
Why would they? The same manipulative techniques that work in my niche on Google seem to work even better on Kagi

by p3rls 2y ago
Kagi is the same garbage as google in my niche. Even worse, maybe. It looks like it's weighing backlinks and SEO garbage even higher. Well done. I don't know how people keep talking about it. The results, as you say, speak for the

It's just endlessly fascinating to me the grift on rSEO How these types first gain moderator status on a few subs and then the spam begins (picture of spam https://pixeldrain.com/u/a6qUPjTq ) I haven't been a

by p3rls 2y ago
Many of the SEO suspicions were confirmed too. I found it VERY amusing if you go to r/SEO just yesterday there were moderators and flaired users (you know, the elites of the SEO community, lol) insisting much of this was "debunked

Yeah I think everyone tells this guy that, and it'd probably be a good start to try and get himself back in the good graces of Pine Bluff's political types, but for whatever reason it doesn't look like an option and he posts

How much have you had stolen in monetary value just out of curiosity? I went schizo myself for a few months after having like $60k worth of stuff stolen from me when the cops did nothing. But you sound like this is just happening continuall

Yeah, okay, this sounds great until the point where I have a company with people that must eat, APIs that aren't free etc. and I look around and I see wikipedia is doing more than fine financially, has ads, morphed itself into three di

Gotta imagine that Conde Nast, Hearst etc are not going to take these changes lying down and the last ten years of SEOmaxxing have given them literally all the money, power etc in the web scene. They will be able to clone any in-depth &quot

You are making distinctions without a difference -- those same geocities admins (like myself) are now the creators of many of these small business websites and webapps that have been being held hostage for years by a malevolent corporation

Duckduckgo is garbage for my niche (entertainment). SEO wordpressed articles up at the top of every search. Looks like it puts even more weight on backlinks in its algorithm to me and as such is even more vulnerable to gaming/timing.

Nah, bribe a NYTimes writer at the beginning of your niches trajectory into the mainstream. That's how they did it in my niche and still making a half million a year almost a decade later. For reference the shocked SEO writer who found

It's incredible how bad google is at manual corrective action. You'd think having a blacklist would be pretty simple. I've seen the same shitty neon-colored wordpresses dominate niches from buying links from the nytimes, lati

Yeah when I gaze out into the sea of salty and stultified faces at these protests "what brave souls" is what runs through my head too, if only the state wasn't so finnicky about creating martyrs, their courage would surely tr
