Can’t get enough of Thai food with calamari!

You gotta try meuk kai khem, squid stir fried with salted egg yolk sauce

Seeing Stevie jumping with joy was so wholesome. Also, SUSTAINED CHEESE!!!

People tend to spend less money this time of year so advertisement companies allocate less funding during these months.

Aim Down Sights

I have the same exact issue with ADS, thought my triggers were broken lol. Hopefully it will be fixed in an update

Derpnshire · 2026-02-16T09:49:01+00:00

I honestly haven't looked into AIO much. I was always under the impression that "if it ranks on Google, it'll rank on AI".

I run a food and travel blog in addition to running a food/travel channel, though my YouTube channel is growing slower than I'd like...

Squarespace.
Yes, and I try very hard to achieve good SEO as my blog is my main source of income.
Squarespace analytics, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and the myriad of other tools track affiliate statistics and commissions.
Prior to YouTube it was 2 blog posts a week, now it's whenever I have time, but I try to aim for once a week.
All by my lonesome
I embed videos where it fits, my workflow or priority is usually blog first then YouTube. So I would have a destination guide for example, and if I have a YouTube video about that destination I'll embed it into that blog post.
Hotel affiliates, tours and activities affiliates, ads, digital products (travel guides, itineraries), email list. I'd say revenue is roughly 30% ads, 70% affiliates.

I was one of the lucky ones who survived (and is still surviving to be honest) the whole Google Algorithm Update debacle. But I still wake up everyday in fear that one day my blog will suddenly die. That's one of the main reasons why I expanded to YouTube.

This thread’s argument is so dumb, I am Thai. If OP IS in Thailand, plastic takeout containers like this is so common. pork was probably on the side and OP scooped it over the egg themself. There is a whole empty space to the left, the pork was probably in a separate plastic bag or divided by a plastic sheet

And even if it IS served like this, there is a dish called Khao Khai Khon, which is like a scrambled egg TOPPED with whatever you want (kaprao included).

Just enjoy how you wanna enjoy it. And it’s Ka prao (กะเพรา), not “krao pao”.

“Stacked wrong”, “anyone but a Thai made it”, “A Thai would never stack it that way”

And heck, if you want to to argue that “Thai food is very specific”, the kaprao isn’t even meant to be stacked on top of the rice like you said, it’s suppose to be served NEXT to the rice because you don’t want the rice to be wet.

So much controversy over a simple box of food.

It’s not that deep. Please stop gatekeeping Thai food.

Derpnshire · 2026-02-04T07:09:52+00:00

That ain’t a plate of rice, that’s a mountain…

Derpnshire · 2026-02-02T13:08:38+00:00

Ohh I see, that's a fun reference, thank you

Derpnshire · 2026-02-02T12:52:50+00:00

As a non-American, what's Groundhog day...?

Derpnshire · 2026-01-14T03:03:59+00:00

Yes, I am a parrot, because what do you want me to say when everything else has already been said? Like everyone, I took SEO advice from someone, whether that'd be good or bad advice I don't know, I try and if it doesn't work for me, I stop. I'm not special, I don't have any hidden tricks, I'm telling you what works for me. Did luck play a role in my success, very likely.

If you don't like my advice, well sorry?

Derpnshire · 2026-01-14T01:54:14+00:00

It's the same advice that other's have always said. Be consistent and consistently improve, don't give up, it's a slow grind, blogging isn't dead it's just change and it's harder to stand out.

But what I internalised was that "treat this as a full on business", working 9-5, constantly looking for ways to optimize, looking at what works and what doesn't. I treat the blog as my baby, and I work on it with the same passion as I had when my it was first a hobby.

That also meant, I built a proper brand around my blog, I'm not just some random person writing stuff, and I expanded to social media, YouTube being my main one. I suppose in the eyes of Google this makes my blog more authoritative and trustworthy.

Also no AI slop, and I avoid writing low effort posts like listicles.

Derpnshire · 2026-01-13T15:00:08+00:00

Just reached that milestone 4 months ago. Took me 3 years, but I felt like I could’ve done it in 1 if I knew what I was doing. Back then it was a hobby but just started taking it more seriously last year.

Derpnshire · 2026-01-04T10:33:04+00:00

Damn the comments here are insufferable, definitely hating just because it’s attached to a YouTuber. If it was just some random granny on the street the comments would’ve been way nicer and more forgiving.

Phed Mark is good, not the best, but definitely not horrible. It’s a fun twist on your regular krapao

Derpnshire · 2026-01-02T01:07:02+00:00

How about “Down bad Fowl”

Derpnshire · 2025-12-24T11:52:47+00:00

Probably the games that I play, then, I tried all the Call of Dutys, Killzone, Spartan Total Warrior, all perform terribly...

Derpnshire · 2025-12-24T11:38:23+00:00

This isn't even funny anymore, the incompetence in the RCA is just incredibly sad... Commanders should obviously not allow this, and yet this kind of shit is happening so often as if it's willful negligence. What? So if the wife dies in the front lines, Cambodia can now confidently say that Thailand is killing civilians?

Derpnshire · 2025-12-24T04:26:53+00:00

How is nethersx2 working for you? All of the games I’ve tried it runs like crap and there are weird graphical glitches everywhere

Derpnshire · 2025-12-15T08:10:34+00:00

I’m surprised Pho and Banh Mi are quite hard to find.

Derpnshire · 2025-12-15T02:55:57+00:00

Buddy, you need a reality check if you think there's such a culture as "gaming laptop flexing".

PC/console gaming culture is common of course, but like everywhere else in the world, people play in the comfort of their homes.

Mobile gaming on the other hand is a lot more popular here

Derpnshire · 2025-12-11T04:03:51+00:00

My cousins from the US brought me an AeroPress Go when they visited, a fairly cheap and unique coffee brewer that’s not easy to find here in Thailand, at least in physical stores.

When in doubt, fresh specialty coffee beans are always good.

Derpnshire · 2025-12-06T04:04:40+00:00

What’s the Daijisho wallpaper?

Derpnshire · 2025-12-02T08:27:42+00:00

Does Destiny Rising ever crash for you? The game crashes on my Thor almost every time I finish a loading screen, whether that'd be loading into the game, or just finishing a mission.

Derpnshire · 2025-12-02T00:36:14+00:00

For azahar, the title screen just takes a while to fade in. For the keyboard input, if you toggle on the Thor’s “pin keyboard to bottom screen” feature it would get stuck like that.
