Have they cleaned out the racists, trolls and general scumbags from the 'community' ?
If you sell out don't expect to control future events.

Yes same, UK.

It used to be great, but the 'community' has some grim individuals sadly.

Re:AI slop is already invading Oregon's local journalism on Tuesday December 10, 2024 @01:06PM (#42379425)
To those, like throwaway on this thread, who say " Give it 5 years and this "AI slop" will write better than your best trained journalist. Get over it."

How does AI attend meetings, ask questions of local officials or bodies, provide in-person reports and original fact based copy?

AI can hoover all that up and rewrite and expand, but surely there will be a need to have boots-on-the-ground?

If so, who pays?

I am already seeing AI giants using local media copy in output with $0 paid for the knowledge and information.

"there's a small trickle of users"

"take a holiday break to freshen my perspective"

Due to A do B now, as it will be easier than if you have lots of active users to support and is an opportunity.

The refresh might give you some distance to come to answers/direction etc.

Look after you first :)

Good luck!

How do you get APILayer to stop billing you?

The support is terrible for their MarketStack API product - and several emails have had no joy.I was about to leave a bad review on https://www.trustpilot.com/review/apilayer.com but seems many people are having similar issues.Does anyone have any contacts there?I just want to close the account and stop them billing me.

Just a shout for Porkbun.

Not directly domain related but they replied to me direct on something and great - humans there.

All I can help with is an upvote. Payroll = jobs / lives / mortgages / kids / health etc etc affected. I hope it gets sorted out ASAP.

Stripe and others, up your game.

Re:The SEO scam: $62,000 later on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @04:17AM (#37046015)
...and have published a 'disheartening' invoice dated 31st Oct 2022 - then work with the company for another ten months. Apparently content to be on the "dirty side of the Internet" and doing something that made them think "Something didn't seem right."

All very odd.

Re:The SEO scam: $62,000 later on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @04:14AM (#37045988)
Surely this is some link bait as an SEO play?

A company that says "Tinloof is a technical SEO agency that conducts audits, and implements the necessary optimizations on websites and ecommerces to rank higher on Google and other SERPs" and puts out this content would be shooting itself in the foot reputationally otherwise?

Surely....!?

Do you pay for the news you rewrite?

If not, if this is the future, how is it sustainable? The original sources are required for this to be a thing.
