giant strange Robot It is reactivated. In November, Google shut down this site, but last month, things started to return to normal. You won't want to miss it.

I plan to continue to practice full transparency as we go through this process. Here's what happened, what I did about it, and what I'm doing differently.

Rise and fall and rise and fall and rise of the strange giant robot

giant strange Robot He began testing the waters for a return in December. Months after Shadow was banned by Google (More about what happened here), there have been signs that the shadow ban will be lifted.

Over the past two years, we've been shadowbanned and unbanned four times, despite Google Tell me directly There is nothing wrong with this site. The longest and most recent ban lasted nearly four months. At the time, Google clearly told us that we wouldn't recover anytime soon. As a result, I had to lay off all our staff and stop publishing.

Although Google directly told us that nothing would be fixed, it now appears that it has been fixed. It's as if we are a mouse, and Google is an extraordinarily mischievous cat. From a mouse's point of view, it's not fun to play with. It destroys people's lives. That cat, of course, doesn't care.

The web giant that controls the Internet has decided that people are allowed to read our content again. Not as much as they used to, we're still suffocated, but at least it's possible to see some of what we're doing.

So, the Freakin Robot giant will resume deployment on a limited basis. We won't be able to bring back 90% of our staff, but we will be able to produce new and interesting content more consistently. Until we stop Google again, that is.

News is dead. We won't do that anymore.

The future of news is on social media platforms like X, where the facts no matter what happen can be stated in a sentence or two. Websites no longer have a place in reporting. Also, as any entertainment writer will tell you, news is what they hate writing the most.

You don't want it, we don't want it, so we don't do it.

Instead, we will focus on more complex comments, recommendations, discussions and opinions. If it didn't take more than a sentence or two to convey, we wouldn't write about it. No one should. That's why you love platforms X He comes out.

Most of what giant strange Robot Publications will depend on what our writers put forward themselves. This means that on this site you will only read content related to the topics that we are the most experienced and most passionate about. Writers will pitch their own stories, and we'll let them write what they want because we know they want the same things our readers want. Everyone wins.

Most important of all, we will continue to do so Focus on YouTube. It's a premium platform and the best place to set up shop if you want to survive the web's shift toward becoming a company-owned business Zero click online. ZCI is inevitable. That battle is over.

Independent publishing on a large scale has also now ended. Independent publishers are no longer allowed to compete with them Major media companies. Which is good for us because their business model based on keyword manipulation is already dead.
