Still trying to get some more funding to continue development

FTC has banned fake reviews. Wonder if any web hosting review sites should be worried...

@mike_demo @Pressable @kinsta @wpengine @GoDaddy @DreamHost I'm afraid we'd end up with nothing honestly. But to explore the idea, how much would you contribute as a person/company? How many yous would it take to get enough to cover running them? Who gets tested in this scenario since in theory any company could be benchmarked?

[Review Signal @ReviewSignal]

@mike_demo @Pressable @kinsta @wpengine @GoDaddy @DreamHost That would be the ideal way to test. If someone wants to sugar sponsor completely anonymous benchmarks and has 6-figures to do it, my door is open :) Until then, I must go with the alternative funding model of hosts paying and cooperating with the testing.

[Pressable @Pressable]

Benchmarks are your best defense against marketing nonsense and affiliate shenanigans. But they're useless if you don't know what to do with that data.

Our latest article empowers you to make better choices with transparent, accurate, actionable data.

@TheJeffMatson @tiffany @carlhancock @Pressable @kinsta @wpengine @GoDaddy @DreamHost If I wanted to use k6 cloud (and I do, third party tools/clouds make it more easily accountable/repeatable in my opinion), they were charging $30/ip in the past, to 30k to run the basic level test with 1 user per ip. That's just IP costs.

[Review Signal @ReviewSignal]

@TheJeffMatson @tiffany @carlhancock @Pressable @kinsta @wpengine @GoDaddy @DreamHost Yeah, I've had these discussions for a decade now :) I'm always happy to hear feedback and ideas. Completely anonymous testing would be the dream scenario. The only way to get around needing security help would be massive IP space to run from which becomes cost problem.

[Review Signal @ReviewSignal]

@carlhancock @Pressable @kinsta @wpengine @GoDaddy @DreamHost That said, I think a lot of companies get a lot of value out of actually going through the testing process. Many fix bugs, bottlenecks, ui/ux issues, copywriting, etc. Companies focused on 'gaming' things versus actually delivering a better product are going to fall behind /3

[Review Signal @ReviewSignal]

@carlhancock @Pressable @kinsta @wpengine @GoDaddy @DreamHost But if a company were to cheat and get caught, I would be very, very, vocal about it. And I would hope that the history of writing about bad behavior in this industry would be enough to know it's not a bluff. For reference see: https://t.co/rY2Ya9D0Vr /2

[Review Signal @ReviewSignal]

@carlhancock @Pressable @kinsta @wpengine @GoDaddy @DreamHost It's not fraud proof, I try to check the servers before/during/after testing to see what I can see, make sure a plan doesn't jump to some higher tier or resources available on SSH suddenly triple. I expect everyone participates in good faith. /1

[Review Signal @ReviewSignal]

@TheJeffMatson @tiffany @carlhancock @Pressable @kinsta @wpengine @GoDaddy @DreamHost The main problems with doing the refund method:
1. I'm running DDoS attacks with analytics which requires permission and coordination because of security measures.
2. Cost chatgpt summed up everything per month and it was 15k+ (minimum). So 60k+ to run the tests.
