That guy is a fucking lunatic. It all happened because he wrote a lengthy post shilling for Google and bootlicking to them like gods. I felt he was trolling with the community at that time so I said, "What a retarded post." I couldn’t believe that snapped him and exacerbated his mental illness. He went from stalking me to outright attacking all the other members here. I still remember he said something along the lines that "those regulars agree with you only because their business got destroyed and they’re poor." He even attacked those who agreed with me. I just couldn’t believe his toxicity. And when others sided with me, especially after he left that disgusting message hoping my mother dies a painful death and that he’s willing to sacrifice another human to see me suffer further, he doubled down further later. He came back as "Guest" and started attacking me again, and even went as far as to bring the owner or moderator of this website in. He started accusing the owner or moderator of this website of ‘allowing this toxicity’ and letting others ‘abuse’ him. It is quite obvious he was trying to guilt the owner or moderator into siding with him. I’m glad they’re wise enough not to fall for it. Now he's creating new accounts to downvote, attack, or lure others again. "AK" is one of them. The craziest part is when he started accusing that all the users who mocked, downvoted or disagreed with him are accounts created by me. He thinks too highly of himself… I have better things to do with my life than stalking, let alone a nobody. Again, all this started simply because I said his post is retarded. Haha. Either the asylum gave internet access to its patient, or that guy is off his meds. He really has issues.

Don't you get bored? Every 2nd week you come up with search volatility that only benefits Google and demotivates aspiring marketers. https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTg5OGZmOWM5MzJ1eG5qcWgzazQzODg2Y3diNGl4ZHl6cXQ1bm1waWR1Y3A4czZpMSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/0EffMm7e0SHSCBxFzo/giphy-downsized-small.mp4

new core updates will always be an update to boost Google AI and BIG sites. SMALL sites are outside the fence.

Anders Gerlev Herstrøm commented on Microsoft Removed Over One Billion Ads, 475,000 Advertiser Accounts & More

Anecdotally Microsoft Ads' numbers are inflated with suspensions of real accounts for legit businesses. We have issues with accounts that were imported from Google Ads (no issues there) being banned on Microsoft Ads for no apparent reason and their support is not helpful, just referring to their policies. For one account we believe it's because Microsoft Ads don't know that a lot of farming equipment wear parts have the words "knife" or "blade" in them without being weapons.

DataDonkey commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility On June 28th

Yeah, he needs to just chill, hold a mature conversation and quit abusing everyone with down votes. But maybe down votes is all he can do cause his posts get auto removed? Don't know about you folks, but every down vote I get is considered two up votes by me.

Haha I thought I was the only one. Spent the past 3 months totally revamping our site and for the first time, I've been waiting for the core update. Things really have changed when people are waiting for the updates because it means no one is in a good position.

It is amazing, how much money and square footage Google spends on this kind of stuff. If we had one of these dangling teepees at my office, I would kick the dog out and be sleeping in there right now.

<blockquote>after seeing the alligator graph separation earlier this month, i know it's time to move on.</blockquote>I keep an eye on the graph at <a href="https://www.advancedwebranking.com/free-seo-tools/google-ai-overview">https://www.advancedwebranking.com/free-seo-tools/google-ai-overview</a> since Google is intent on forcing AIO down everyone's throat. While the graph showed a dip this week, that's probably because Google is using resources for this core update. When all is said and done, we will likely see much more AIO in the SERPS which will take even more of our traffic away.

I hope they banned the devices used, the accounts at the financial institutions where deposits were sent to or where payments were received from.

sorry to hear. I gave up a while ago. Just going through the motions. The job market is horrendous. Heck, if you have not been looking for a job, it will be a shock. The last time I did an interview, it was one over the phone, one in person. Now it's zoom this, zoom that. haha. I always wanted to meet people, even when I hired them. Now they don't even want to bother.

Within two weeks the website was dead. I don't know what was going on. My team was making 10k eur a month. I paid salaries. Now I have to fire everyone and leave the website as a ghost until the domain and hosting run out. I'll have to go back to working at a McDonald's or a supermarket for 1200 eur. Thanks Google, you're the best!

Dead Cat Bounce commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility On June 28th

Same in my area. Everything's gone to shit. And the stock market is nonsensical too. Trade agreements have not been settled but it just keeps going up and up. Even when the Israel-Iran war broke out, the stock market just kept going up. And even after US sent in their B2-bombers to strike the nuclear facilities in Iran, and Iran retaliated, the stock market still went up. Economic data was bad, and the market still went up. It is not going into any minor correction like a healthy market should. Even companies like Coreweave, a newly IPO company that powers AI, has went from $40 to $164 (it went to a all-time high of $180+ recently) in just 6-7 weeks. And this company is loaded with BIG debts - billions of dollars. Yet, people are buying it non-stop. Even Reddit is now at $150+ despite market analysts have issued warnings about Reddit relying on Google traffic and the dangers of AI Overviews stealing their traffic. It is getting very heated at this point that I've not traded for 6 weeks. Then some said it is because of the inflation, the horrible job market and whatnot, many people are investing in the stock market in the hopes of making quick cash, hence it explains the irrational rally. Everything just don't make sense at this point.

Thanks an welcome back. By the way, that Change the browser site you did, how much visitors did you get from it? still going? Probably no point changing browser as all the search engines except Lycos are copying Google.

Yes, I can't see it. I saw the name of the video on my phone later on, its a John Oliver video right so I guess its an official video so they don't want us to see it yet. I remember years ago when Johnny tore apart those against the AOIC act (i think) and that was great.

I've started making AI slop from my website, gets an initial interest then disappears. Its the only way at the moment. Remember the Diversity update from Google, it doesn't apply to Google's products, multiple Youtube, Reddit etc.

Yeah, I got that video, didn't watch it all. I get a lot of survival videos because I watched one survival video. Videos in the future are going to be scarey, you are going to get videos pertaining to be from a politician but they never said that and will tarnish people. As videos get more realistic, I wonder when some criminal caught red handed by camera is going to accuse the video of being AI.

15 years in this business and today is the first time I simply don't give a F about a google update. I used to work so hard on improving anything and everything. Then I'd hope to see improvements when the core launched. However, this time, I admit, i still worked hard. in fact, it was on an extreme level of effort. because i still had some faith, but after seeing the alligator graph separation earlier this month, i know it's time to move on. it was all a huge waste of time that would have been better spent looking for a job. i have kids, a family to support. i am deeply in debt after believing there was hope. i will never work on our site again. will never produce another piece of content for ai thieves to steal. it's the final nail. without even seeing the results of the core update, i'm laying off the remaining team.

yeah, it is crazy but it's done on purpose. Make NO mistake about it. Google is doing to YouTubers with Veo 3 what it did to us with search updates. If you fill the entire YouTube with AI videos, what does it do to regular content creators? Less eyeballs on their content. They are doing a controlled demolition of the internet. I just don't understand why people like these video? How? They are not even real

I don't. I haven't. I am just clueless what to do. The job market is HORRIBLE. People keep saying there are all these jobs are out there but they really aren't. Even college grads are unemployed.
