How to Choose The Perfect Domain Without Losing Your Sanity!
I love your tip that focuses on perception. I think this is often overlooked and it can be damaging. On the opposite side, it can drive traffic to you. The question is whether it’s the kind of traffic you want? I also used AI to help generate ideas. I fed it concepts, ideas, and parameters...- Matthew

Meta staff torrented nearly 82TB of pirated books for AI training — court records reveal copyright violations
That is an absurd amount of data. Assuming no settlements, I’d be interested to see the total damages that can be claimed with that amount. Realistically, they will settle for a much lesser amount with file owners receiving far less in damages.- Matthew

General Do You Allow Multiple Accounts
There are very few circumstances where I would allow a secondary account. One would be for posting packages during early stages of a forum. The other would be in situations where a staff member wants peace while posting without the constant barrage of being a staff member. I’ve seen this...- Matthew

Elon Musk-led team submits $97.4B bid for OpenAI
At this point, I think OpenAI has more power than X could hope to have. I'd also be curious to know where the amount for Musk's bid would come from considering the issues he apparently had trying to acquire Twitter previously.- Matthew

SEO Do you prefer to do your own SEO or do you hire someone to do it?
I think with resources like ChatGPT, doing your own SEO work is more doable now than ever before. I would find value in learning the skill as a fresh community starting out likely wouldn’t have the resources necessary to hire someone for this purpose.- Matthew

Growth What are some effective ways to learn how to create a community?
I think when it comes to community building, there is nothing better than having spent time as a community member yourself. Watch, see what you both like and don't like, and write down ideas to use later on. Additionally, resources such as ChatGPT can provide excellent ideas on how to navigate...- Matthew

Using Reddit as a Keyword Research Tool to find Topics around your Niche
I’ve not tried this yet but I see the value in this. Reddit seems to THE forum of the internet now a days. I usually read through Reddit before making a big purchase or make a major decision. I’ll have to try this as I open up my 3D printing forum.- Matthew
