I was away from the forum for a year and a half, and I noticed that the forum is mainly about questions, filled with AI replies and filled with AI slop tutorials that don't benefit others. I remember times when I first registered here, people were eager to share, tons of useful money making methods, tweaks...
Now, even if you see a quality tutorial, hidden beneath that is the upcoming course sales thread from the OP of the tutorial. And I get that, that is part of the marketing, and I have nothing to do with it.
But I think that there are people who know a lot of stuff, and can share tons of things, but they don't have an incentive behind it, like why would they? If they don't want to sell the service later on based on that particular thing.
So my idea is to introduce allowance for certain tutorials to have actual ref/affiliate links, so they can actually benefit from sharing cool tools and good tutorials.
It shouldn't be allowed by default because we are going to see shitloads of AI Slop tutorials filled with affiliate links and referral links, but rather make it that way if people find it useful, the administration thinks that thread is worthy and can actually teach something NEW readers of this forum, then OP can include affiliate links.
Banal example from my perspective and what I faced:
So back in the day, I think it was 4 years ago(before AI) I spent hours & money in order to crack how to get a USA audience on TikTok if you are not from the USA.
I posted that tutorial on this forum, the first one to ever introduce that method here and anywhere.
Fast forward a couple of years later I saw on numerous other forums, gumroads, telegram groups, that method being sold, in the same writing style like my thread here, exactly copy pasted.
How much do I earn from that? 0$
So that made me feel, if I don't get anything from sharing on this forum, and people just reuse that and sell it and actually make money, why would I share it here anyway?
I mean yeah you can tell me, "well go and make BST and sell method", well I don't want to, I have shitloads of projects and businesss I don't have time for that + it is making this whole forum a bit pointless because if we make sales thread for every bit of useful information we know and want to sell it, then this becomes just a big marketplace instead of actual forum where we share knowledge.
UNDERSTAND THIS
Main goal of this suggestion is to return the glory of BlackHatWorld back, that new people can come and actually learn something new, some new method, make money using those methods, without a need to pay for that.
That is how I started. I saw a method here, started working on it, and then the rest is history.
I know this will require a bit of manual work from administration so they decide which tutorial deserves "allowance" of aff links, but hey, I can do it in free time if yall don't have time, or make some automated way where people can vote if it needs (of course in order to vote to be eligible voters need to have xyz posts, be of xyz age or have Jr. Vip, so we can stop botting of the vote system).
What do you think guys?
