I was a fanatical disciple of Cwicly and became a bad human when someone criticised it. Watching this video made me realise how stupid I was when accusing Kevin for orchestrating Cwicly’s downfall. That’s a good thing! Now I will subscribe to Kevin and stay sober.
Glad to hear that you're ditching Google products, I also went through that path years ago. It feels great to regain control on your data, especially when going with self-hosted opensource solutions.
You may have overlooked the fact because WP is huge, millions of newcomers are coming yearly, and they will not be bothered by this drama. Look at the Breakdance builder now being among the most popular underdog challengers for Elementor.
I wholeheartedly hope you will consider creating your own page builder (with a team ofc) sometime in the future. You definitely have the competence for leading such kind of a project.
Let me put this timeline 00:00 - Introduction & greetings 02:00 - Cwicly discussion 45:30 - Headline: Kevin divorces google and explains why, she isn't happy about it and she wants him back. (Is this a good copywriting?) @gearyco: If you are reading this. #Q - I missed the live stream, after watching it back my question is: What's your opinion on Microsoft Exchange for emails and One drive for storage?
I hate the Google situation. But what advice would you have for the agency owners that want to bring traffic to clients’ websites? Google search, ads, and my husiness are the only ones I can’t get rid of.
If no google ads, what's the alternative? Or have i misunderstood something? I'm all for stickin it to the man, but seems a bit hard for me to get clients the same results minus google ads (in some cases)
By the way, I think Louis is a kind, warm-hearted person with an artistic soul who simply isn’t made for the role he put himself into. We all excell at different roles and different things in life, and shit happens when we try to be in the spot we aren’t “made for”. Sure, one can improve in anything, but I believe leadership is especially something that you have to have the “seed” in yourself. Quite similarly as it’s the case for art. It’s a way of being, and you can’t teach someone to be creative.
Caught the replay 12 hours later, enjoyed the stream. Interesting thoughts about leaving Google. I hadn't considered the /blog/%permalink idea until watching your other video -- the light bulb turned on with this golden nugget.
Interesting question: "Who will be next?" As far as I know, things have been quiet about Zion builder. In fact, it is not known what is going on behind the scenes of other builders.
I think pretty much everyone missed that Cwicly (Louis) actually joined the chat and left one message: Cwicly: Feeling threatened? Unfortunate false information is being spread again. That was it, not sure what to make of it. Thanks for the great stream Kevin, lots of truths spit and golden nuggets left.
Spotted that too. I have to agree, shoosing the block editor as your base for your building experience just doesn't go in ones fabour. It causes more problems than it's worth.
@@Gearyco I fully agree on your Google divorce and am in transition myself to alternatives. But why (and this is not critique) is there still a Google Chrome app active in your Dock on the video? Must be to get on YT, right?
Didn't get a chance to say it before the end, but thanks for another great stream. Grab yourself a drink now, no wonders you get a sore throat after two hours straight speaking 😂
Hi Gary, I love watching your videos and you have a great way of explaining technical Web related stuff. I do have a comment that could half the length of your videos ! The one and the only thing that I find very frustrating is that you say the same sentence three times. Every time you say a point, you then repeat that point, and quite often even repeat it a third time. I’m sure it doesn’t bother anybody else and I’m probably unique in finding it quite frustrating. I actually find myself listening to a sentence and then wishing I could fast forward 5 to 10 seconds after every sentence you say so that I can skip the bits where you repeat the same sentence again, And again. I realise this is probably your own mannerism and I’m sure you don’t even notice it that’s fine. I just thought I’d point it out because sometimes your videos are quite long and I know that the same video that is 30 minutes long could easily be 20 minutes long if you didn’t repeat everything. Having said that, I will continue to watch your videos as I find the subject matter very interesting and I’ve been in the industry over 45 years! Keep up the good work mate.
@@Gearyco yeah was taught the “tell them, tell fhem again, then finally tell them one more time…” school in corporate presentation world (thank f**k out of that cosmos now!). But on videos we can always re run the video 🤣🤔😉
@@JonathanCampDesigner it’s also a technique for when you are thinking on the fly, like on a two hour live stream with no script. I’ll work on being more perfect of the cuff 💪🏻
one of the only reasons why I still use screwtube is because content creators like yourself haven't migrated to Rumble. Someone needs to take the first step and start switching viewers to other platforms. It has taken time for many other, yes mainly political, content creators to move but it is starting to be successful. The community "over there" will grow as valuble content followers, follow the content and people they trust.
GutenBricks is something that demonstrates how all this can be done without having to get down in the weeds with JS/REACT. Design in a pro tool (Bricks) hand off to content creaters who have different chops other than front end development. Works best in a big organisation with multiple teams with various disciplinnes.
@@Gearyco always thumbs up, even for Jamie. If yous all are spending time to make all this content yous all deserve the credit, even if we don't agree 100% with everthing that's put out there.

You are spot on when describing the two camps of returners to Cwicly. I was that emotional dude, but finally woke up when watching this video.
Glad to hear that you're ditching Google products, I also went through that path years ago. It feels great to regain control on your data, especially when going with self-hosted opensource solutions.
Full support to Louis from me. I hope he gets it right this time.
You may have overlooked the fact because WP is huge, millions of newcomers are coming yearly, and they will not be bothered by this drama. Look at the Breakdance builder now being among the most popular underdog challengers for Elementor.
Very true but people often ask others before choosing a builder and that’ll slow down growth
Amazing stream! You hit the mark on many things you said. No sugarcoating or apologies here- even if the truth stings…
We've been Louised again 😅
The name doesn't have a good track record in page building.
You mean it's the new Rick Roll ? 😂
*sneezes*
Cwicly dev: People are harassing me and my product. I quit (again).
I wholeheartedly hope you will consider creating your own page builder (with a team ofc) sometime in the future. You definitely have the competence for leading such kind of a project.
Think you have your answer on this, now!
@@nasmith67 hehe 😅 yepp
Let me put this timeline
00:00 - Introduction & greetings
02:00 - Cwicly discussion
45:30 - Headline: Kevin divorces google and explains why, she isn't happy about it and she wants him back. (Is this a good copywriting?)
@gearyco: If you are reading this.
#Q - I missed the live stream, after watching it back my question is:
What's your opinion on Microsoft Exchange for emails and One drive for storage?
I’m not a Microsoft fan either
I hate the Google situation. But what advice would you have for the agency owners that want to bring traffic to clients’ websites? Google search, ads, and my husiness are the only ones I can’t get rid of.
You might have to do it for their sake 🤷♂️
If no google ads, what's the alternative? Or have i misunderstood something?
I'm all for stickin it to the man, but seems a bit hard for me to get clients the same results minus google ads (in some cases)
I’m not beholden to clients anymore, so it’s different for me. Everyone will have to make their own concessions
By the way, I think Louis is a kind, warm-hearted person with an artistic soul who simply isn’t made for the role he put himself into.

It’s a way of being, and you can’t teach someone to be creative.
Yeah that’s what I was getting at but I think I got sidetracked. He’s not a CEO or a business guy.
Yep, I couldn't agree more. I bought the licence to work with it 2 months before they drop.
Do you have a blog post about you divorce from Google, what's your alternative for Google sheets and docs?
Nope. Craft.
👏🏻👏🏻 unplugging from the matrix. How about the APIS of google maps etc… thank you kevin for this movement Divorcing Google,, the world needs it
Caught the replay 12 hours later, enjoyed the stream. Interesting thoughts about leaving Google. I hadn't considered the /blog/%permalink idea until watching your other video -- the light bulb turned on with this golden nugget.
This grabbed my attention as well. Found the related setting in Toolset's setup for CPTs.
What's a good alternative to google search?
I’m using brave search for now
I use Perplexity

Didn’t see that
He didn't use #Q 😂
Spotted that too. I have to agree, shoosing the block editor as your base for your building experience just doesn't go in ones fabour. It causes more problems than it's worth.
in which vids did you speak about the reasons to divorce from Google?
Sheesh ... no idea. I do hours of video content every week. Good luck!
@@Gearyco I fully agree on your Google divorce and am in transition myself to alternatives. But why (and this is not critique) is there still a Google Chrome app active in your Dock on the video? Must be to get on YT, right?
@@StevenHogenbosch I just need to uninstall it
what do you think of Pinegrow web editor?
Horrible interface
Thanks Kevin, you are 100% on target...as usual :-)
If you go out in public and advertise a public product, you also have to be able to deal with bad / malicious criticism.

Check how Kevin answers this question 1:15:56 something sketchy there
Hint for Etch? 😉
one of the only reasons why I still use screwtube is because content creators like yourself haven't migrated to Rumble. Someone needs to take the first step and start switching viewers to other platforms. It has taken time for many other, yes mainly political, content creators to move but it is starting to be successful. The community "over there" will grow as valuble content followers, follow the content and people they trust.
I'm going to start cross-posting to Rumble at minimum.
Kevin you're not the only one not getting it !
But at least going free will allow them to reply to criticism : You got what You paid for ! 😂
Insightful. Informative. Entertaining. By the way, I can tell you that GutenBricks is truly close to core, the Bricks Core.
True that.
GutenBricks is something that demonstrates how all this can be done without having to get down in the weeds with JS/REACT. Design in a pro tool (Bricks) hand off to content creaters who have different chops other than front end development. Works best in a big organisation with multiple teams with various disciplinnes.
Don't do like others and stop creating the Mega Menu elements, and just build the menu component :D
I'll have it done after dinner.
“Not divs, sorry, GrouUups” 😂😂😂
We know who gave them the thumbs down at the start of the stream lol
This is a scandal that we need to get to the bottom of.
@@Gearyco always thumbs up, even for Jamie. If yous all are spending time to make all this content yous all deserve the credit, even if we don't agree 100% with everthing that's put out there.
Breakdance builder will be next to pull the rug on its users , trust Louis R at your own risk.. anyone reading this don’t say I didn’t warn you
If it doesn't do the kind of numbers he wants, that may be true. I think it's doing okay, though.
