Mandy seems like a really nice girl, though I was disappointed to see her posting pre-arranged fluff pieces on the AffiliateWP blog for grifters like Johnny Nguyen and JohnnyVPS… “you recommend our product and then we’ll recommend yours”…. sad to see established companies in the WordPress world still following this fraudulent type of endorsement scheme for link exchanges.

Michael seems like a nice enough web designer from Malaysia, but he is yet another blogger who STRONGLY!! recommends JohnnyVPS hosting for WordPress despite not using that service for his own company (his site pixl.my is hosted on Gridpane instead): https://pixl.my/the-rabbit-hole-that-is-wordpress-web-hosting/ https://archive.is/wip/gzn9X It makes you wonder why all of Johnny Nguyen’s AMAZING!! hosting reviews are from bloggers who don’t use his hosting… weird.

I can’t speak to Kira’s web design services, but like many other affiliate marketers she illegally recommends and publishes affiliate links for services like JohnnyVPS, Siteground, and Liquid Web without the legally required FTC disclosure. Read More
Max is yet another typical affiliate marketing shill who will take money to “recommend” brands and services even if he doesn’t use them, without any legally-required Disclosure of his biased reviews. For example he decided to dishonestly review JohnnyVPS for a known WordPress scammer, Johnny Nguyen, calling that fake VPS hosting service the “fastest wordpress hosting” available, despite the fact that Max himself hosts his website on Cloudways (affiliate link included). “From my experience, JVPS provides the best performance out of all managed WordPress hosts. Just read their comparison reports comparing their performance to all the other managed WordPress hosts including Cloudways, WP Engine, Flywheel and SiteGround.” You can’t make this stuff up… literally quoted from his review itself! Another phony blogger adding zero value to the web. Read More
Johnny is a typical shill for a few Wordpress related brands like Rank Math SEO, Litespeed, and Swift Performance who doesn’t actually know anything about computer programming or code development, so he just exchanges affiliate links and quid-pro-quo “endorsements” with other like-minded scammers. He didn’t like that my company released 50+ free WordPress plugins (and the SlickStack script) for Nginx servers because Litespeed apparently performs worse than Nginx… so he started trolling my posts on Facebook groups saying I’m racist for having exposed all the fraud and spyware (and even a death threat) that Rank Math SEO was engaged in. More here: https://www.littlebizzy.com/directory/johnny-nguyen Wow: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/f06vse/litespeed_servers_seem_like_a_marketing_scam_are/ Just when you thought whiny virtue-signaling might stay out of the open source community, shills like Johnny showed up. It’s really sad that your parents survive the Vietnam War and come to America, and then you decide to slander everyone as “racist” that is not helping you gain more affiliate link clicks. Thankfully 99% of Vietnamese refugees don’t act like this! Update: Johnny is now leaving anon comments on his own blog claiming that I’m a “neo Nazi” among other smears. He doesn’t even have the balls to trash talk a competitor using his real name… just straight to fraud, every time… the funniest part about his blog is that nearly every argument he posts he has previously taken a different or conflicting position on the subject in years past… he’s like the Kamala Harris of WordPress Read More
