Should I use an AI-made logo?
I don't think it is a big deal if you use AI. You can also generate some ideas to bring to someone too. So you can feel better about it being made by human hands. I personally don't see an issue with using it for things like this.

Intros/Outros in videos in 2026?
If the intro is too long, you run the risk of people leaving. The first 10 to 30 seconds are very important. You want to draw people in. So I would say that outros are fine, even longer ones (up to 20 seconds) but you have to be careful with intros. Keep them short, very short.

Is TubeBuddy worth using still?
From what I have read, it can be hit and miss. It can help you or it can be useless. It likely comes down to what information you are using to grow your channel and what topics you cover. If it is news/current things, I don't think it will be useful.

Can you use AI to compete with AI?
I noticed on all social media platforms including ones like YouTube and Reddit, there is AI content being pumped into them every day. A lot of it is low-quality stuff too. The issue is that because it can be generated so fast, it is taking over platforms. Any time I search for anything on YouTube, X, Reddit, ect. Ever other result seems to have AI involved. For people that rely on social media for their business or income stream, how do you compete with this? Can you use AI to compete with AI?

Which website builders have auto/AI options built in?
Hostinger and GoDaddy have AI hosting models. Not sure if this is something your friend would want or need as well. I was messing around with GoDaddy's earlier this year.

Why is Hootsuite so expensive?
The standard package is $99 a month, for 10 accounts. I feel like there should be a cheaper option for someone just looking to use it for one or two accounts. I was reading up on it and watched a few videos. I was ready to sign up for it but not for this much. I assumed it would be like $10 or maybe $20 at most a month.

How to go from 0 customers to a loyal fan base of reliable sales?
Exactly right. If you make videos that people get bored of part of the way through, they will stop watching and go elsewhere. But like with everything else, it does take time to build up a following.

How can I improve my small shop?
Do promo codes for it on social media. Find relevant posts and make posts about the things you sell with a special code to get a discount. Just make sure to put a time limit on them when you do this. I have heard of this helping a decent bit.

Is it true that the subscriber count doesn't matter?
Keywords. It is really simple now. The issue is that you are competing with hundreds of thousands of videos being uploaded every day. So you might get recommended for some stuff, and another video you make might get absolutely no traction at all.

How to go from 0 customers to a loyal fan base of reliable sales?
What is this pertaining to? A self-hosted platform? YouTube? Another social account? It matters in what context your are asking. It sounds like you are asking in terms of YouTube and in that case, it just takes time. Only a few people strike gold right away.

Is it true that the subscriber count doesn't matter?
Yup! It is because these things are too easily botted. I mentioned this in another thread. A lot of social platforms switched to different metrics to rate quality content and for YouTube, the best measure for this is watch time retention.

What causes the Error 526 on Cloudflare?
Check the DNS. Sometimes that could be viewed as invalid and you have to switch it from DNS online to proxied. This could also be why one works and the other is getting an error. I hope something gets sorted. I know how annoying Cloudflare errors can be!

I feel like AI is ruining the internet...
AI is an amazing tool and I have no issue with it being such. My issue is that a lot of people without a skill set are using it to mass produce content online that is drowning out everything else. I have seen it all over social platforms everything from YouTube to niche forums like this one.

If traffic drops out of no where without recovery, could AI be to blame?
It is usually because of search engines. The bulk of your traffic comes from people Googling terms and clicking onto your URL. If Google (or other search engines) decide that your page isn't as valuable, it will get pushed down the page list for search results. This could quickly kill off a website in terms of traffic.

Should I focus on one website at a time?
Well, I wouldn't want to have one site fall off either so I understand. I think you can adjust your schedule to have time for both. Instead of working on both all the time, give each site set time for each week. Maybe 2 or 3 days each.
