BlackHat World Newsletters

Welcome to the final BlackHat World newsletter of the month!

Another particularly busy week here on BHW, and we've been working on guiding members who are looking for beta reviewers and offering free gifts on how to have their threads closed when they've had the engagement they've been looking for. More on this below.

Once again this week, Reddit does seem to be the main topic of conversation among you all. The major news that Reddit now appears to be requiring that everybody has to be logged in to read all content on the platform has irritated many - and the suggestion of an account purge has not improved moods either. Have you experience either or both of these?

Also discussed this week is Google reportedly making scraping more difficult to carry out, whether uncaptioned videos can still be a huge success on TikTok - and how are your manners when you're using AI....?

BHW's Tip of the Week
This week we have placed sticky posts in the Service Reviews & Beta Testers Help Wantedand Freebies / Giveaways sections relating to how OPs can request the closure of their thread if they have given away the slots and items they advertised in it.

After seeing reports from some members that they were still being contacted or receiving replies to offers and requests that were no longer open, we want to encourage members to request the closure of said threads once they have served their purpose.

You can see more details here and here.
