General Creating fake members to jumpstart community: yay or nay?
I would say nay. People have become very good at detecting inauthentic people, brands, and platforms. It is much more common for platforms and brands to fail these days due to authenticity issues. We also want to connect to authentic people we can relate to because no one wants to feel deceived...- ken_gitahi

What can mess up a friendship for you?
Lying and not being on the same wavelength on a lot of things. For example, someone might not have the same goals or even not have any goals, and that does not sit right with me unless they rectify it quickly. I have also lost friends because they would not change their minds. I am sorta...- ken_gitahi

SEO Google Rolls Out AI-Organized Search Results Pages
SEO experts are having a rough go at it at the moment. With all the algorithm changes Google has done in the last year to AI constantly changing the landscape, things must be really tough on their end.

Reuters, CNN add website paywalls
I do a ton of research for different reasons. If I need to read one article, I have to pay a subscription? How many people will say no to paying just to read less than five articles on these sites per year? However, I am sure it will be worth it for those who rely on these outlets much more than...- ken_gitahi

General Wordpress VS WP Engine
I had a conversation with someone about WordPress doing something like this when they launched their "hosted" and paid plans.

What’s a popular movie that you secretly think is overrated?
Inception. If you are making a movie for a 'highly intelligent' audience, then Inception is ok. But for a casual watcher who needs two hours of distraction? Inception is not. Also, Tenet for the same reason.- ken_gitahi

What Fears Do You Possess?
Mine are drowning and heights. I cannot handle anything more than knee deep or higher than two stories. However, I have swam in the ocean (almost drowned though) and routinely visit the ninth floor of a hospital to deal with my fear of heights.- ken_gitahi

How is your Drop Shipping service going so far?
Tried drop shipping some time ago and gave up on it because I had other things going on. I also think I got in at the wrong time because there was too much competition at the time.
