I remember the times, not so long ago, 3-5 years back, when after asking a question, you would receive at least 5 answers and recommendations from experienced forum members for every post you made.

I have found more than one partner on this forum with whom I successfully collaborated.

Nowadays, if you ask a question, you will most likely receive no answer at all or get some completely off-topic response from a new forum member. Looking at the new forum topics in general, they are just a bunch of crap.

The same goes for JV - I had a great offer, searched for partners for more than 2 months, and offered a lot of very reliable and warm traffic, but all I received was a bunch of shitty offers from new forum members.
 
Even though I disagree. As an experience Internet Marketer, I try to respond to questions I see when I'm on the homepage, but remember the forum is no longer small, it have grown a lot. There is only so much questions, you can respond too, before you realize that you need to get back to work. So, sometimes questions may miss us, it's no longer like back in the day where the forum was smaller. It's huge now.
 
Yes, Forum is Huge Now.. not the same like it was before.. See how huge

Example.. You Posted this thread on Jan 24th

https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/n...-on-their-influencer-marketing-costs.1680099/

Now, Today status - your Thread can be found only at 6th page .. (Reason - No Bump, it's your side to check)

How can you expect answers, if Thread is at 6th page.

If you didn't find the answers, you need to Bump your thread as long as not violating the Rules & Terms..

Let's try BUMP Man.. Maybe you shock with answers on other days..

Not all days are Same Days.. !
Make sure to use BUMP as much possible..
 
I very rarely ask questions.

You know why?

2 reasons.

Almost every single time I have a question I use the search button and I almost always find the answer, there is a vast resource of useful posts here.

In the rare case I do not find the answer, AI to the rescue.

The last thing I do is start a thread to complain about it.

Not only that, it feels like reddit. You can't say truth or anything because mods will smash you. We all need to comply with reddit rules haha.

I have said a lot of truths here and mods have never slapped me for it. They slap me when i do not follow the rules , is quite easy to understand the sentence just follow the rules.

If your truth or anything comply with the rules of BHW, you will not get smashed.
 
you didn't mention the biggest problem...AI generated answers and generic replies talking obvious stuff
wait 1 or 2 more years, open source and near zero cost models far superior to deepkseek will arrive, I don't know how people can be so calm, maybe I'm already interacting with pure bots and I haven't realized.

It sounds crazy but if only 20% of sophisticated players start generating 80% of the content, nothing and no one will escape the pareto laws.
 
There are a larger amount of spammers/scammers targeting BHW nowadays, they're diluting other people's posts,
Mods are doing their best to fight it, the rest will be up to other members to report their posts/accounts, getting the forum cleaner
 
Ok, so before I close this thread, I do have a few things to say and a few comments to address directly.

First, nothing stays the same in any community. Communities grow and change, members come and go. There isn't a community out there, digital or in person, that's immune to this. How the community handles the change matters, especially as it grows and BHW is growing. That's a big reason why I'm here now. Someone to help focus directly on the community, engage with you guys and help it grow in the right way.

I can't say a lot yet (give me another month or two) but there's a lot of things being discussed on how we can draw out better engagement with users. Just like you, we want people to find the answers they want and we want you guys to have meaningful conversations. There's a number of ways we can do this but we need to look through the options and choose what we think will work best for BHW.

For now, AI generated content is fine. We are watching and monitoring. Of course, members using this technology DO still need to follow the rules. They're not allowed to post just to post so report any post count spam or other rule violations!

If it's not mentioned as part of the Terms and Rules, then you can likely say it. There's a shockingly good amount that is accepted here that would never in a million years be accepted in other communities I'm part of.

One of the projects on my plate is to reduce spam. This is a huge task and it'll forever be a work in process since spammers evolve with changes. However, I can tell you as the person who's picking up this massive task, your reports help SO much. Otherwise I have to waste a lot of time going out and looking for it. With the community's help, I can find what I'm looking for faster so please, please please report if you think it's spam!
