Black Hat World Newsletter
April 19th, 2026

Greetings once again to you all, and welcome to the BlackHat World newsletter!

This week we've decided to make some important changes to our rules relating to dispute resolution threads. Additionally, we'd like to remind you that we don't run a support service through Telegram or any other third party platform. More details on these below!

With rumblings growing louder that Reddit are about to introduce an age verification system, we have been debating what that would mean overall for the platform and whether it could potentially be the beginning of the end for it. Or is it a necessary evil that protects all users?

We've also been searching for anyone who has bravely made the plunge into quantum computing, answers about whether AI mass publishing has already died a death - and also for your favourite and most rewatched Christopher Nolan films!

Top 10 Threads of the Week

Forum member @AshleyRosaworld joins the chorus of discontent against the wall of ads now faced on all YouTube videos.

10. Which Chris Nolan Film Has the Most Rewatch Value?
One staff member with renowned questionable taste isn't a fan of the popular filmmaker. But Jr. VIP @flexpaydude wants to know if there's a film of his you've watched numerous times.

BHW's Tip of the Week
First up this week, we have made some additions to our rules relating to dispute resolutions. We now require anybody making a dispute thread to have 2FA enabled on their account, any refunds be made to the original payment method used during the transaction, and that all communication between the two parties remains on the forum. Full details can be seen here.

We would also like to remind the community that BlackHat World's Support team will ONLY ever communicate and contact you through our official support channel and via its official email address. We do not communicate through any other channels, especially Telegram. If anyone contacts you through such methods claiming to be us - they ain't! Oh, and report them, please. Thank you!

It's June already, and it's time for another BHW newsletter. Hi there!

The response we had for our men's World Cup lucky dip was awesome - thanks so much to everyone who threw their hat in the ring. We hope you all have fun seeing how your team does, even if you hate football with a fiery passion. Which some people do, apparently. Read more about what else we have planned for the tournament below.

This week one of our Jr. Executive VIPs has shared something awesome they've found through Revolut in the shape of some free Amazon gift cards. They could come in handy with Christmas fast approaching. Yeah we said it. You know it will be on us in no time, don't shoot the messenger!

Elsewhere on the forum this week we've been asked if we've seen any positive changes at all after Google's latest core update (stranger things have happened), the usefulness of Reddit karma is debated - and we're looking for the most hilarious movie scenes of all time....

Black Hat World Newsletter
June 14th, 2026

Welcome to the latest BlackHat World newsletter, and happy Sunday to you all!

Before we kick off this newsletter (we can't promise that will be the last unfunny football related gag this week), a reminder that we have a lucky dip running for the men's World Cup which started on Thursday. You can see more details about it below, and a couple of threads of footballing interest in the Threads of the Week!

England haven't lost on penalties yet, no.

There have been a couple of major threads this week related to the status and future of cryptocurrency. Lots of column inches and video minutes have been dedicated to the prediction of a major crash - but one forum member hasn't seen any profit from crypto for years now. If you're a crypto-head, why not wade into the discussions?

Also this week, X / Twitter comes under fire for the increasingly huge number of bots on its platform and its drastic throttling back of the DM system, Trustpilot's worth comes under heavy scrutiny - and we're also asked what we've found if we've ever Googled ourselves....

Top 10 Threads of the Week
Discussion topics from the community...

1. Biggest Crypto Crash Incoming?
As a number of crypto bloggers and influencers suggested there could be a crash on the way, forum member @fix3el asks whether a buying spree could be in order.

2. Crypto is Sh*t?
And still on crypto, Jr. VIP @ZeroGravityGardener is not impressed by the market after seeing only losses over a 4 year period. They ask if making money in crypto is purely down to pot luck.

3. Trustpilot Going Downhill - Untrustworthy Now?
Is the trustworthiness of Trustpilot a thing of the past, or is it still a service that you can get useful reviews from? Jr. VIP @WhateverBoosts would like to know.

4. The First Thing You Google About Yourself
Ever been brave enough to Google yourself? Newcomer @Chrismayor wants to know what you saw about yourself!

5. I Lost My Rank
Newcomer @NoStax receives some useful advice and tips after revealing they've recently lost a high ranking for a competitive term.

6. 0 Views Issue on TikTok - Shadowbanned?
After seeing their accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers suddenly receive no views, forum member @Tatsuhiko looks for a solution to their shadowbanning.

7. Is X Mostly Bots?
Newcomer @Vynith isn't impressed by what X / Twitter has become lately - is its reported decline to do with the amount of bots on the platform....?

8. X / Twitter Just Killed DMs
....and junior member @virchual asks if anyone else has experienced a massive decrease in the number of DMs they're able to send out on TAFKA Twitter.

9. Are You Making Money from the World Cup?
It's the biggest sporting event on the planet - but are there money-making opportunities to be had off the back of it?

10. Predictions for the FIFA Men's World Cup 2026
No money to made here, just some friendly predictions asked for by Executive VIP @Mr Positive. Staff members also have their say (and probably regret it).

Top Posts of the Week
Content for the community, by the community...

1. A terrific guide from Executive VIP @Topiano on growing their app's AI visibility

Black Hat World Newsletter
June 21st, 2026

Hello again - it's newsletter time!

This week we went ahead and answered questions that a number of you have had about why we lock threads here on BlackHat World, and you can read more about it below. Also, the men's World Cup has entered its second week - and so has our lucky dip! How's your team doing so far? (Curacao fans do not need to answer this)

This week we've been asked whether there's simply too much AI content on the market now and if there's a danger of the AI content bubble bursting already. But, if not, what's the best way of breaking the market and making money from it?

The YouTube section has been especially busy this week as members discuss using comments and likes to rank videos, starting up in a busy niche, and even the best name for a football channel! Oh, and we've also been asked about our worst experiences at the hairdressers....

Top 10 Threads of the Week
Discussion topics from the community...

Is the market for AI-generated content already saturated? Jr. VIP @WindSpace Agency certainly thinks so.

Black Hat World Newsletter
June 28th, 2026

Hi everyone, and welcome to the latest BlackHat World newsletter.

----------------------------------------------------------------​

In Memory of Our Friend BassTrackerBoats

As many of you will already be aware, we have recently received the very sad news that long-time community and staff member @BassTrackerBoats has passed away.

Greg, or BTB as he was also known to all of us, was a monument of the BHW family for many years. Firstly, as a member of the general community, he was an invaluable and knowledgeable contributor who would go out of his way to give advice and help to anyone fortunate enough to sit under his learning tree. Later, as a staff member, he was a popular and well loved colleague who would work tirelessly to help other members of the team and keep the community running smoothly.

We invite you to share your stories and memories of him in this thread. We miss him very, very dearly, and everyone here at BlackHat World sends our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. He loved BHW and we love him, too.

BHW's Tip of the Week
Recently we've had to reject several dispute resolution submissions where the accuser has traded with a non-upgraded member. So we want to take this opportunity to remind the community that you are not allowed to trade on BHW unless you have an upgraded account.

We have now introduced a new rule where you also will be warned if you are seen to be trading with someone you shouldn't be. Remember, trading ONLY with upgraded members protects both parties and entitles you to start a dispute if the deal goes wrong. You do not have that option if the member is non-upgraded.

BHW's Tip of the Week
This week we want to draw your attention to a thread we've created relating to reporting posts and threads. We specifically want to address those members who engage with posts they believe they should report.

Calling out someone for a rule break or being a spammer (or both!) means that staff will also have to take time to clear up your post, too, as we will have to remove what you have quoted and the original post itself. So don't call it out - just report it! You can read more information here.
