This popped up in one of my feeds. It's interesting when the web tries to get me to support my sites.

Chicago, check your November ComEd bill.
If ComEd supplies your power, there's a new 3.758¢/kWh charge (the Purchased Electricity Adjustment) after a 1.551¢ credit in October.
On a 750 kWh month, that's roughly $22 more before taxes.
Moving here? Budget for winter.

We are very excited to be part of the @CAAPTS membership. We are planning to bring real value with ChicagoApartmentBuildings.co…
If you want to build a directory, go to Frey's site at ship-your-directory.circle.s… and learn. It's not hard but it is a grind. We built ChicagoApartmentBuildings.co… with the goal of AI visibility for @CAAPTS members. Anxious to have Frey roast me one day.
The owner of a competitor directory emailed me today very upset.
Said it’s his first directory and he’s been at $200 MRR and shared screenshots for proof
My first thought was “so you’re telling me I only need 9k users to hit $200 MRR with 0 quality backlinks?”
It’s been less than a month and I’m already on pace to hit 1.2-2k monthly visitors and built a few amazing links.
Tough lesson. I’ve been there. When I started posting YouTube videos, I invited 20+ copycats to compete with my first directory. It was getting 90k/visits per month and has since gone down to 25k/visits per month.
It sucked at first but it is what it is.
My site only reached 90k/visits per month because I outranked a competitor who was getting 120k/visits per month.
SEO can feel ruthless at times.
The site owner requested I take my site down.
Unfortunately, I can now justify spending $200/month in links and from display ads alone it’ll be worth it.
Respectfully, see you on page 2 of Google soon my brother man.
p.s. I will never build a competing directory if you’ve shared your idea with me in confidence (1:1 meetings, private community chats). I’ve signed multiple NDAs to give people peace of mind. This was a total stranger.
Good morning all, it's time to get to work. Dear @namedotcom I have tried everything in my power to help you help me. I have many tickets open. The fantastic part is the people in chat are so very empathetic and they all "sincerely apologize". So nothing to worry about I guess.
