@levelsio fix: a website that shows real photos of hotels taken by guests, not the highly edited over-processed photos taken by a professional photographer. you can get the same thing on google photos for that hotel it's just a pain in the ass to navigate, so this would be easier.

@IvelinOfThings Yeah it’s verified. The site is . And they did the “heist” on Exceljet. They took their site map, fed it into an ai tool, and had it generate thousands of articles. All of the articles sucked, and when Google found out they gave a manual penalty.

@kazzkiq The screenshot is from casual. app - It’s not casuals fault I think because they probably just hired someone to do their SEO, and that person did the “seo heist”. This is ExcelJets stats, who they supposedly stole from.

@T_Zahil why you switch to coolify ? its just a VPS which does not scale. If your app goes viral your VPS dies. There are other solutions to your problems like switching to cloudflare pages + their decent firewall. Its much cheaper and DX is similar. Another option is to use AWS with SST,

@nikitabier It’s the biggest reason to build any paid app. There’s a $2.99 “news” app (it’s literally just marquee text) and it’s #1 in the news section. Or why there’s an app that’s just the YouTube website reskinned priced at $4.99 in the top charts.
