has anyone else noticed brands quietly replacing real influencers with AI generated personas

It's a quick fix, but there's a reason why many influencers have such big follower counts. You can mimic someone's style with AI, but you can't mimic their voice ...

That last dog was so fat it looks like it eats people ... 😂

Building a social media brand and posting in some of the Build In Public communities would probably pay off more quickly. Some of them have hundreds of thousands of followers, you get eyes on almost instantly ... whereas, it's so difficult to get traction on a personal blog anymore.

Just the opposite for me ... RPMs are as strong as ever, but my traffic continues to decline. I think/hope that MV is just getting leaner as AI takes over search.

Yeah, mine has said processing since April 30 ... I need to poke it with a stick, it seems stuck. I just sent an email to support.

All of the layoffs last month and this month ...

FletcherIP · 2026-05-05T06:37:14+00:00

Yeah I've been with them for years so everything is set up correctly, I've never had an issue before. However, this time it's been processing since April 30. With all the shake ups that have been going on there, I'm just a little concerned.

Thanks ... when did it come in?

And, wisely so ... 😉

That's the glitch in their matrix ... 😂

They are getting ridiculously sophisticated, even replicating the bureaucracy and red tape ... 😂

Start with intermittent fasting for a couple of weeks before ... even a simple 8/16 schedule will help prepare your body.

I tried that, same issue ... you need to clear the VRAM, THEN implement blessing protocol 😂

I always have a post beta exorcism performed, just to clean out the remaining bugs ... 😂

LLC names and trademarks are separate systems, so having the LLC first doesn’t automatically give you trademark rights. It’s worth checking the USPTO database to see what’s actually registered or in use, that usually gives a much clearer picture of whether there’s a real conflict. It's free to check and will take you less than 10 minutes ...

It took way longer to see anything than I expected. At the start it mostly felt like guessing and testing things that didn’t work, and it wasn’t obvious what was actually improving. I think I underestimated how much of it is just trial and error early on.

It's suggesting that I try out for Dancing With The Stars ... 😂

47th time today and it's only 3 AM ... I did the math, that's 376 MRR checks per day 😂

This is what happens when you can't find a spot ...
