After years of trash talking LittleBizzy and calling us “Neo Nazis” many bloggers deleted their fake “positive reviews” (affiliate links) for JohnnyVPS after we called them out for not even using the service… I assume his customer base tanked as a result, since we blogged publicly about his dishonest marketing and behavior.

Apparently at no point did he think “hmm, maybe I should apologize”

Nah, just rebrand

underestimate the churn rate in web hosting industry at your own risk…

> have a shared cPanel server hosted on Linode
>> call it “VPS hosting” and hype it in dozens of Facebook groups
>>> trash talk other WordPress guys and mass report them to Facebook group admins because you are jealous of their competing business
>>>> make it even more personal and call them Neo Nazis
>>>>> get called out for your fraudulent marketing, s****y hosting, and lies

==============> business dies.

which business died?

[Christina]

which business died?

I’m exaggerating (slightly) but talking about his JohnnyVPS brand. I don’t think it’s dead but it can’t be good.

“make it even more personal and call them Neo Nazis”

when did he call LittleBizzy Nazis? and why???? doesn’t even make sense.

[George]

He said it on his blog.

I’m pretty sure WPJohnny secretly loves SlickStack

[Patrick]

And for why, who knows? He’s Asian-American. Apparently he just jumped on the post-2016 leftist bandwagon of calling white guys “Nazis” that he doesn’t like. You know cuz, smearing their personal reputation is easier than actually competing with them.

this BlaqPanel ?

[Nancy]

but the nazis is in the comments section, not in the actual article?

[Deborah]

99% chance Johnny posted the “anonymous” comments mate.

[Margaret]

It’s not just Johnny. There’s a lot of seething web developers out there who hate other people on a personal level, and thus trash talk their services. It doesn’t matter how quality or honest you are, they will still do it

[Robert]

am I misunderstanding this here

https://github.com/meramsey

the “BlaqPanel” repo was entirely coded by this guy, not Johnny

[Joe]

the “BlaqPanel” repo was entirely coded by this guy, not Johnny

that’s because Johnny can’t write a single line of code.
