Should I Stay Or Should I Go – Wealthy Affiliate

@rudy you were kind of "lucky" hahaha, I got silence banned just like that, without giving me the reason why, and I couldn't even dm anyone any longer. (I had payed until next year)
I even had to ask Andy here to respond to one of my last dm's, in my name. That was horrible. A 'community' is useless if they even make it impossible for you to ask something or to respond or criticize something.


Again, the only one I thought who was able to answer a sincere question or specify something or add another short video to clear something up, was Vitaly. The only one who took my observations and tips on a topic as well and even wasn't too arrogant to think that he was the only 'expert' in the field on something specific. His case studies were also very interesting.

The others like Kyle, Carson and Jay, often were very 'dedain' to me.
Claiming something that I needed to do for my niche, while they didn't know my niche at all, and their 'advice' simply wouldn't work for me.

Under the belt, lots of things had been said to me and others in the last year, it was a horrific experience, all because they don't want to take the criticism to their hosting. That message appearing still on new people's sites is something one never sees elsewhere, it's bloody annoying lol.

Anyway, you'll see: changing to WPX is a very good move!

@andy of course they are reading along hahahahahaha!

Hi Kyle, hi Carson (who never spoke on the platform until I 'slagged' the hosting hahaha), hi Jay ( be "nice" hahahaha! )

So guys, while you're reading this: ( I was too frustrated/busy to expand on this when I unsubscribed this week). Please consider these things:


- get rid of the message of people hosted on WA saying something like 'browser security check': it looks VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and isn't seen anywhere else=> this might cost people traffic

- Please FIX the "this is a dangerous website" issue, I never ever saw this since moving to WPX: again, this is costing people traffic!

- Please fix your site support, they are slow and sometimes when they responded: 'we will forward this message and come back to you", I didn't hear from you for days or even weeks.

- Telling people that they can not use WP rocket and even blocking it, isn't good marketing for your hosting either, literally no one else does this.
Also, when you can't use WP rocket, but in your niche, you need lots of images/video's, your hosting speed gets unbearably low ( like into the red zone on mobile, even to 30% ).

Especially once you get over a hundred blog posts, it slows down, let alone when we place Ads on our site, the user experience goes way down (it isn't our fault that Google still thinks that the whole world still doesn't have high-speed internet yet)

- the platform needs way better and more information about how to make money with ads on your site, instead of just using affiliate marketing. For example: I had to find out myself that Mediavine now has "Journey", and I making more money with it than ever before in those 5 years on WA!

- making seem like someone like Abbie is 'helpful' for the platform, like she is representing it or something, doesn't actually look too good on your business. I would suggest creating a separate 'top blog posts' section on your platform, that clearly mentions that it is just for chatting about life and others, and have a separate 'top blog posts' section about learning how to make money, only.
At the moment, everything is mixed up, and again: it doesn't look professional at all. Ever since "Abbie" started to respond to everyone and everything, just to get the Ambassador status, things went downhill and started to annoy the hell out of me.

- just having one or sometimes 2 extra premium plus classes per week for a lot more money, doesn't cut the costs, especially when you are already more advanced.

- there were a LOT of things I still needed to find out on my own, like how to manage a FB group, while Jay just basically said 'don't bother', it is making my newsletter subscriptions rise! So yes, do BOTHER! And please don't claim incorrect things on your platform, like the Amazon images!


I hope this is 'nicer' now from my end, but sometimes I need to have a good old-fashioned cursing and not-being-so-nice, just to get through to people. I know I'm not always the 'polite' one, lol. (and that probably got me silence banned hahaha)

@rudy Hi, Rudy. Can you tell me your WA member’s name? I was curious to find you, but being mostly absent in WA, I was not able to locate you. I checked Diane’s farewell post, and her current contact information (this place) is there.

@nemira - sure…1Rudy1 is my WA handle.

@rudy Thank you:) Yes, there is no farewell post. Strange things are going on.
