RT @hairless_chimp: Isn't it strange there are some people in the SEO space who rally against AI but that's also all they ever talk about

@KineticArtisan @Otto_English There's certainly some, but the vast majority are just bots. Literal bots. LLM driven.

@tomfgoodwin June 2020, San Francisco (after a decade there) >> Barbados. Couldnt be happier with the move. Only thing that didnt change was career, but even that's morphed somewhat.

lol :) yeah - so monthly recurring has to imply a subscription of sorts. Impressions, clicks and views aren’t recurring and by YouTube’s very nature are transient due to their algo. All that said, 6k out of YT in two months is super impressive, but if that channel does nothing it’ll disappear again quickly.

@gorcampbell True story: about two months ago I was watching a spacex launch on YouTube. Half way through Elon comes out and starts promoting some shit coin. It was a fake AI Gen vid, but done well enough it took me 2-3 minutes to figure it out. About 100k active viewers.

@SignorColt ahhhhh right gotcha. Yeah, for results below, pixel depth is probably the route. Have to say, Ive always been impressed with @seoClarity & @mgandhi so Im sure given their newfound prominence its something they'll sort

@indigoSNTHD Spanish language SERPs are a major pain point for Google US. Its a substandard index, populated with highly SEOd sites. Not enough genuine publishers correctly implement hreflang in order to display ES content. (this is my day job).

I got a warning for sharing this: why would the platform keep the content up if it already knows it’s fake??
