Why we banned a User who left the reservation

Does anyone think this attitude is fair?

What would you do with a user clearly breaking all the rules on Reddit like this

Here's the last 2 messages - they got banned for being aggressive because they lost some debates in SEO

Just wants to refuse to accept that language like toward a mod isn't rewarded

and are using two Reddit handles

https://www.reddit.com/user/tscher16/ and https://www.reddit.com/user/Dingleberry_water/

And some more choice comments

I offered a reprieve - but they just want to double down on saying that abusing mods is fair game

Another Example of the Idealogical Spam/Campaigns being pushed on the Sub/Reddit

Just saw this post removed - its from a no-name bot that Reddit Removed.

Why did I call this an Ideological campaign?

This is not real data. Even if you dont believe Google when it says it allows AI content - it allows AI content. There are lots of people doing it - I get messages, I hear people talking about it here, on X, on LinkedIn.

There is no data attached to this post. Its just a post.

And this post is FUD: Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

Where are reports "citing 40-70%" declines?

It looks like a branded research or expert thought leader post

But its not and its no linked to anything.

Its trying to discredit AI content and the use of it. I'm taking a stand either way - this is spam.

And I'm sure from a confirmation bias PoV - some people would love to see this posted

And that it and of itself demonstrates taht EEAT is subjective.

The Verge: A notoriously anti-SEO publication appears to call GEO BS

Key points from the article:

  • It explicitly says AI search has created “new openings for spammers, snake oil salesmen, and well-meaning but misinformed practitioners.”
  • It lists GEO, AEO, GSO, etc. as “endless new monikers” that SEO firms are inventing to promise clients they can get their brand mentioned or recommended by AI tools.
  • SEO expert Britney Muller is quoted criticizing “AI-pilled SEOs” who claim they can “do GEO” or “do AIO,” saying they’re “setting a dangerous precedent that they can influence AI in ways that are simply not true” and that people are “setting yourself up for failure.”
  • The overall tone portrays the SEO industry as panicked and grasping at unproven tactics (like self-serving listicles and hidden prompt tricks), with a lot of it looking like temporary gimmicks or snake oil.

It suggests that while trying to get visibility in AI answers makes sense, many of the new “GEO expert” services and bold promises being sold right now are overhyped and not as effective or reliable as they claim — which is why it groups them with “snake oil salesmen.”My earlier summary captured that chaotic, “lots of snake oil” vibe accurately.

Basically, a great piece warning readers to be cautious about the new wave of AI-SEO hype.

AI Bank and Accounting toolls for small business

Its amazing what public LLMs can do if you import your checking and credit card statements - why aren't people building SaaS tools to help small companies with this?

Another example of unchecked Robo-spam | how the dead web is killing reddit

This account has never replied to anyone - it just posts and posts and posts the Reddit Admins won't take action.

There are some 10 or 12 associated accounts or bots using automation that auto-reply, usually agreeing with everything and anything it says

Please help us identify spam posts and accounts

We love the input and advice that this community gives. We continue to strive the be the most spam free SEO sub in the world despite being the most spammed sub in Reddit

And there's nothing worse that spending 20 minutes sharing you tpo experiences with a bot thats never going to reply. These bots use LLMs to create click-bait titles - they are cookie-cutter clones and they are the only conversation makers in most of the GEO and spam subs on Reddit.

Why are they here?

Replying to them - gives them Karma and CQS points.

What is CQS: A rating system Reddit uses to tell if people are getting upvotes = real people. Think of it as PageRank for Reddit

What are they doing? Aren't they harmless?

They typically have 1 of two purposes

  1. Earn CQS that they can then dump faux case studies to lure business owners to DM them for help.

  2. Dump faux "GEO Case Studies"

What is a faux Case Study?

One of the many aspects of Reddit "debates" is the ability to take observations at face value and as real and engage with other people in your industry, hobby, country or across ideological divides like religion, politics or even SEO

People post "I did X and got Y" and thats fine

But bots and GEO agencies are taking this to a new level: posting about doing research on 25,000 domains, keywords, backlinks - whatever

These are not real - and this why we've had to ban them
