🤡 The Food Bloggers Are At It Again

In partnership with

At this point, I only seem to remain in this Facebook group for food bloggers just to get filled with rage.

They seem to spend more time being righteous than actually blogging about food.

More on that in a moment.

But first, I’ve got TWO sponsors today. One here, and one below. So, check ‘em out for a chance at some monies!

You Could Be Next

I know I’ve said it before, and I still don’t know why they care so much about the sites that Mediavine chooses to approve for Journey.

And some of you might be wondering why I care that they’re obsessed with it.

It’s simple.

I’ve been the target of false AI content accusations in an attempt to get my sites de-monetized. Sites that were started almost 10 years ago and haven’t been getting regular updates since chatGPT was released.

And still, I had to defend myself against baseless claims.

All because some jealous cunts are mad about someone else getting a site monetized.

And you could be the next one on their list of targets.

They seem to be mobilizing now and sharing the URLs that they want removed from Mediavine.

They think if they all mass report the sites, then they will get removed from monetization.

and I’m honestly not sure how anyone else’s site getting monetized can be disheartening for them?

Like, it has zero effect on her ability to monetize her own site.

Is the site below yours? Cause a bunch of AI reports are headed to Mediavine about it.

Or maybe this site is yours?

I didn’t look at any of the sites they were sharing today. Because I don’t care if a site using AI images or recipes is getting monetized by Mediavine.

My favorite thing about this today is that they are using the number of monthly recipes posted on the sites as a surefire sign that it’s a shitty AI site.

Me thinks if they took all the time they spend hunting down sites they deem not worthy of monetization and complaining about them in a Facebook group, then maybe they’d have more time to create recipes for their own sites.

Anyways, if your site is in the screenshots, then be prepared for the after effects of this. And if you’re creating a recipes site, then know that a bunch of jealous assholes may report you to Mediavine once you get monetized just cause they’ve deemed themselves the hall monitors of Mediavine monetization.

Coming up…

Upcoming topics: more tips and ideas on Etsy and KDP, how it’s going with my chatGPT fiction ebook and the AI music thingie, and growing an ecomm site.

If you have a topic you want covered just reply and let me know.

Stay awesome,
