Bloggers who’ve switched over to YouTube:

How’d the transition go? Was it the right choice? What was the hardest part?

Asking for a friend.

They steal our content.

They wipe out our traffic.

They penalize us for having affiliate links or ads to make up for that loss of income.

They tell us to ditch thin content, then later admit that GSC was underreporting clicks.

They tell us expertise and experience are important signals, then bury first-hand content under crap written by freelance generalists using AI.

They tell people hit by HCU that recovery is possible in a couple weeks…months…maybe next update?

They impose site-wide penalties on small sites which tend to be solo sites, but page-based penalties on big publishers who’ve got the staff to fix things.

They elevate big brands that have scraped content from smaller ones without adding anything new, then punish small sites with original content for optimizing so they’re found in search.

And literally overnight they rip established sites with good DA and excellent traffic out of the top 3 on a wide vertical and sink that site’s traffic and income.

Avoiding Creator burnout? You caused it, Google.

How stupid do you think we are that you’re still trying to pretend you’re helpful to creators in any way? You’re the single biggest threat to original, heartfelt and helpful content out there.

@audreygriswold @histoftech Tuxies are the best! Here’s Shake as a kitten.

[Noel Krasomil @noelkras]

@audreygriswold @histoftech Our boy, Shake, was found in a dumpster as a kitten in Chengdu, China while my wife and I were living there for her teaching job. We briefly fostered him, failed, adopted him, and brought him back to the US with us. Dumpster cats are the best.

LOL at this article that suggests the best solution to a psychologically devastating workplace is to add a long commute.

@ItsKieranDrew I’m considering locking up my phone and router in a safe for half my work day so I can raw dog it on my laptop without internet and actually focus.

[Noel Krasomil @noelkras]

Outlining a blog post without having SEO in mind is really tough, I agree.

What type of blog project will it be?

You might have a fighting chance with some longtail keywords if you don’t monetize via affiliate links or display ads.

The Booking. com app. Best UX and prices for booking lodging. I’m allowed to click my own affiliate links before booking a hotel, and it’s not against their TOS.

Maps. me and Alltrails offline maps are great for hiking trails.

I love Google's offline maps (though their search algorithm can get f&$%ed).

Spotify for offline music on trains, planes, areas with no service.

Me neither! Since I’ve switch to DDG, I’ve really enjoyed the no bullshit search experience.

I still occasionally search through Google to check in on certain keywords, but I usually get disgusted and close my browser window in shame.

My biggest mistake as a creator was not collecting my audience’s email addresses from day one.

What’s yours?

[Noel Krasomil @noelkras]

@KenGuient Agreed. My biggest mistake as a creator was not putting more emphasis on building a newsletter from day one.

Google's "AI Overviews" feature is a raging trash fire that threatens to drown the open web with its stench. Here's how to block it. https://t.co/O1P0cM8eZv
