• OpenAI closed both my user account and API access for “Acts of Violence”, yet absolutely nothing has been violence related on neither my account nor on the web service using API (I checked my API logs as well). They’re not replying to appeals either, essentially locking down business activity as well.

    They locked my Tier 5 with all of its funds.

    How is this possible without them actually giving details I would need for the appeal?

  • Hi everyone, I’ve tried Agent Mode four times and each attempt returned “An error occurred,” performed zero searches, and still consumed four of my 40 requests. Has anyone else run into this problem?

  • My assumption is that success comes from either being the fastest to update quotes or having the most accurate pricing models (vol surfaces, Greeks, etc.). Is that roughly right?

    A few specific questions:

    * If you’re a researcher at a speed-focused OMM, what are you actually working on?
    * How do slower firms stay competitive — by focusing on niche products, better hedging, or client flow?

    Would appreciate any perspective from people in the space

  • Hi r/SEO,

    I work at a company that invested a lot of time and $ in upgrading their website at the beginning of the year, and the site looks and seems to function much, much better. We are in the mid-market and enterprise B2B SaaS and hardware space.

    The agency we worked with to redesign and republish the site was very skilled, but now we are looking to move on to SEO and trying to figure out where to start.

    **Tech stack:**

    * Webflow + Webflow CMS for hosting
    * SurferSEO for content assistance
    * Ahrefs

    **Basic data from ahrefs:**

    * DR: 26 (competitors are in the mid- to high-40s)
    * Referring domains: 90 (competitors are much, much higher – typically hundreds)
    * Total visitors: 1.7K
    * Organic Traffic: 261

    When we look at our competitors and their data (at least on ahrefs), we seem way behind.

    We started reworking some pages (8 of about 90 or so) using Surfer and within a few weeks, GSC shows our traffic increasing, so this seems like a good sign. But there are tons of pages to work on and we’re not sure if we should keep going with it internally or hire in a consultant to help to help us develop a good strategy to work through this and understand if we are missing anything.

    So for all the experts out there, the question is this — where do we start? what will generate the most results the fastest? It seems like we can keep working with Surfer to update our internal content, but we haven’t even started thinking about off-site SEO / backlinks and the myriad other facets to this.

    Thanks!

  • I’m planning to visit Italy for around 7 days starting from the 13th or 14th of November. However, based on what I’ve found, it seems that visiting Italy in November might not be a great idea, and I’m a bit worried about it.

    I read that many restaurants and attractions may be closed during this time, and that November tends to have quite a lot of rainy days.

    Could you please tell me what Italy is really like in November? It would be very helpful if you could share some photos of Italy or the Dolomites during that month as well.

  • I’m experimenting with a multi-stage voice pipeline something that takes raw audio input and processes it through multiple NLP layers (like emotion, tone, and intent). The idea is to understand not just *what* is being said, but deeper nuances behind it.

    I’m being intentionally vague for now, but would love to hear from folks who’ve worked on:

    * Audio-first NLP workflows
    * Transformer models beyond standard text applications
    * Challenges with emotional/contextual understanding from speech

    Not a research paper request — just curious to connect with anyone who’s walked this path before.

    DMs are open if that’s easier.

  • Just wondering if anyone else feels this.
    After the March 2024 updates, I’ve seen crazy ups and downs. Stuff that used to rank overnight on Medium and similar platforms now barely moves… or gets wiped out in days.

    Is anyone still getting results with Parasite SEO in 2025? Or is Google officially done letting those pages sit on top?

    share your experience, guys.
