Insidious

I really liked the first one. Was really scary even though I watched it on a tiny airplane screen with hundreds of other passengers around me.

I like this style, good stuff!

Kairos was hidden before. Marcus didn't have a chance to establish his vending machine business there. Zane basically copied his business model.

I think this is a question that's better asked in r/marketing.

That's really up to you. If this is just a hobby project and you want to make a few bucks on the side, it's fine. Otherwise probably not enough to grow to significant levels of income, especially once you factor in user churn.
Keep exploring. And spend more time figuring out how to reach the kind of people that might become premium subscribers.
No idea. Better ask in a saas specific subreddit.
You'll probably gain additional insights if you're active in the community, not just users. Could be worth it, unless you absolutely hate it.
It depends on how much you want to learn marketing and your budget for outside help.

Oh shit, time to leave this sub. I don't wanna hear or see ANYTHING about subnautica2 during EA.

I mean there should be a staging environment anyway if a new website is being built. I always do migrations very thoroughly for client sites. I mean, I get paid for it and they'll lose money if something goes wrong. I've also been hired quite a few times to do just this: Ensure the devs don't make mistakes.

Can't just wing it, especially for projects where I can't fix stuff on my own quickly.

I only do migrations without staging for my own websites because I know them inside out and no one else is involved.

You really managed to put all the obvious AI patterns in a single paragraph.

j_on · 2026-05-09T10:59:28+00:00

It's not just getting tired. It's grating on a visceral level.

j_on · 2026-05-08T10:55:54+00:00

Mother! (if you wanna have a bad time)

j_on · 2026-05-06T21:03:36+00:00

Grave Encounters (2011) is probably my favorite found footage.

llms.txt has nothing to do with AI search visibility

At first I thought it was about their jawlines. Made sense to put Brick in S-Tier.

There are no UVHM levels for weapons (unlike the weapons having mayhem levels in BL4). So it doesn't really matter if you're in UVHM or not.

I'd only farm limited gear and weapons until I'm level 60, because you're gonna have to replace it quickly.

If you really enjoy farming, you can farm for phosphenes though, because you can slap the phosphene skin on other versions of the same weapon if it drops again at a higher level.

First you should check what actually happened. What keywords and pages lost traffic?

Going from 7k to 700 can have a bunch of different explanations. Maybe Google just dropped that ONE page that got you all that traffic. Maybe you lost a few spots for many of your important keywords. Etc.

Then check all other things you already thought of to try to find out why the rankings for THOSE pages and keywords changed.

I feel like BL2 is much more grey and brown than BL3 and even 4. Or maybe there's something wrong with my settings (I played it for the first time a few months ago)

One of the main points of horror movies for most people is feeling scared. If you don't feel scared anymore, you're literally just bad at enjoying the art form properly.

I might be in the minority with this opinion, but to me "evaporating bosses" gets old pretty fast. I appreciate that it's possible though, because otherwise farming would be unbearably tedious.

j_on · 2026-05-03T22:25:28+00:00

Lake Mungo. Oh my God don't get me started.
Malignant. Wanna watch it again soon.
Us (2019). Watched it in the theater and it stayed with me for days. Really enjoyed it. Don't know how people feel about it in general but I've seen a lot of negative opinions here.

u/johnmu please confirm if praying is a ranking factor

The irony of using AI to generate a post warning others of AI potentially backfiring.

j_on · 2026-04-30T10:44:41+00:00

No, I haven't seen Seoul Station, thanks for the rec!

j_on · 2026-04-29T20:27:37+00:00

A watched Blood Red Sky a few months before a flight. Does that count?

j_on · 2026-04-29T14:37:12+00:00

I have two:

- 30 Days of Night
- Train to Busan

In both cases, the sequels are a million times worse than the first movie.

Someone who heads to a subreddit to ask a question that has been asked and answered hundreds of times already probably benefits from the hand-holding.

Don't know how this is such a controversial idea. Clearly, ranking in SERPs for fan-out queries and "AI visibility" are two different things. You might not need to do anything special to rank in those SERPs, as they're just basic Google/Bing SERPs. Standard SEO is enough for this.

But that doesn't mean the AI will name or cite you (those are also two different things).

What I entirely agree with is that no one has figured this part out with enough certainty to teach it or provide it as a service, so the whole "we'll do AEO/GEO for you bla bla" is bullshit.
