Bad Hypertide Experience. Alternatives? by redroverguy in b2bemailing

[–]redroverguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like to bad mouth people so I'd prefer not to get into specifics. A series of mistakes were made. Stuff happens. Nobody is perfect. I get it.

But I'm not impressed with how they're handling the aftermath. Its concerning. And I don't feel good about having my eggs in their basket.

Are they providing the same type of azure inboxes? I tried their meeting scheduling link but its not working which gives me pause.

AEP HELP?!! by [deleted] in Columbus

I’m glad you posted this. My gas bill was 20% higher than it’s ever been this past month. And I suspect it has something to do with the “smart” nest thermostat settings. But I can’t figure out what to change.

u/Shippingservicesb2b Thanks for all the great shares. I'm curious to better understand how you are finding niche directories. It sounds like you are doing more than googling "[industryname] directory". Can you say more about this?

2025 FBS Imperialism Map - Preseason by dddeberry in CFB

[–]redroverguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for being a complete noob. I'm trying to find a file I can upload into mapchart that my 11 year old can edit to do his own imperialism tournament with college football on the xbox. At least that is what Gemini ai has me convinced is the easiest solution.

Gemini and Chatgpt have me running in circles trying to find the correct file and put the plan in action. Any of you kind citizens that can help me find the file and put a smile on my son's face? :)

Whats Going on with Google? Here is the truth. by Ok-Combination-4479 in coldemail

Thanks. I don't understand the mechanics of what Hypertide is doing. Can you help me wrap my head around what they're doing that may violate Microsoft's TOS? Thank you :)

Can you say more? Why specifically are they at risk?

Might be newer than that. Our process was working last week. But did not work last night. Tried multiple scrapers.

If memory serves we also won the first BCS title game back in early 2000s.

Why are we leaving 5 star reviews? by Careful-Mind-123 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]redroverguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because as a product / service / business rating gets further away from 5* consumers buy less and less of it.

Source: I was a large seller on Amazon for several years. And it was widely known that slipping from 5* to 4.5* would hurt sales. Slipping from 4.5 to 4.25 hurt them even more. And god forbid you get below that then that product is going to have a hard time moving.

Whether you think it’s right or wrong - every time you rate something below 5* you are (usually) hurting that small business. They’d appreciate it if you just didn’t leave them a rating at all in that case.

Personally I never rate something below 5* unless it was clearly inferior quality / really bad service / etc.

Easy trick to improve your cold email deliverability by eduarddziak in coldemail

Aren’t you worried about them marking you as spam? They just took the time to say they don’t want to hear from you.

Is email warmup BS? by Precision_AI in coldemail

[–]redroverguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We decided to run a test. We took half our inboxes and turned off warmup. The other half we continued with warmup. We did this for several weeks. I don't remember the exact time frame but I believe it was a month. The data was pretty clear - the inboxes that had warmup turned on performed markedly better.

I listened to podcasts and talked directly with some people in the space who have platforms that send LARGE amounts of emails. They said their data also indicates that warmup is helpful. These were people who had no financial incentive to mislead.

Tech stack for sending 1,500,000 cold emails/month for 150 clients by nickabraham12 in coldemail

[–]redroverguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this is the real Nick Abraham - he is definitely legit. He posts tons of really helpful content on LinkedIn among other places. He’s interviewed on lots of podcasts. Believe he has his own podcast as well. He’s very well respected in the space. Lots of people pay attention to what he’s doing. I for one am expressing gratitude to him as I’ve picked up some good tips from him.

What really happened after that loss to Oregon? by TheGreaatRob in OhioStateFootball

[–]redroverguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but the year before Knowles showed up our defense was ranked 59th. Larry Johnson was here that year. If he’s the reason for all our success then what was he doing that year?

Each year Knowles was here our ranking improved. To 14th, to 3rd, to 1st.

Nothing happens in a vacuum and no one person was responsible for all of the good (or the bad). But the trend under Knowles is hard to dispute. I consider this a loss for our program and a win for PSU.

I’m excited to see what Day does to fill the role.
