Are you stocking up Hemp in preperation of the Hemp Ban?

What products are you stocking up on? Personally myself it's vapes, as I prefer the ease of access compared to other forms of Hemp. I have focused on primarily THCA but have gotten some familiar blends I have tried in the past.

Hopefully, Congress does the right thing and saves hemp. We here at r/hemp are greatful of the U.S. Hemp Roundtable and other organizations that have fought hard against the Hemp Ban. It's not over yet, make sure to tell your elected officials to save the hemp industry and thousands of jobs it employs.

GFiber is so much worse than it was a year ago

After nearly a week of back and forth with techs and engineering team, I have finally had my wifi network actually connected successfully without any backend issues. However, the connection has been HORRIBLE! Constant lag and throttling. Buffering for basic video streaming. It is literally unusable half the time. So frustrating.

I got rid of GFiber in august of 2025 only to come back to GFiber this month. Every aspect of GFiber seems to have gone through enshitification. I remember GFiber being much more reliable and the connection being way better.

Overall, my experience with GFiber this second time around has been a living hell.

Has anyone else noticed a degradation of GFiber service over the past year or two?

Can’t activate modem. escalation ticket is going nowhere with the engineering department. Tech visit and daily calls to customer support unsuccessful

I have already had a tech come on friday to replace the fiber jack (already had a fiber jack in the home from the last time i had gfiber years ago). I was told Friday evening by GFiber Engineering Team that it would be resolved by midnight (which it still hasn’t been resolved). I called yesterday to get another appointment and an update, to which I was told the soonest one is next Friday the 11th & that my ticket escalation is set to the highest priority and to call back the next day to try and have my tech appointment moved to a sooner slot. I called today and had my appointment moved to today at 4, but 2 hours before my appointment the system changed my appointment date back to next Friday. Keep in mind I have had the modem since the 2nd and have called numerous times and get told the same thing over and over again.

Has anyone else experienced issues with their self install kit for the 500mb/s plan? What should I do? The loyalty team had to give me a credit to convince me not to cancel as my billing cycle ends on the 15th (billing started despite my modem not being successfully activated yet).

I don’t remember GFiber being this unorganized when I had them in 2025. Even the tech was frustrated as it was a backend issue but the engineering team has really dropped the ball.

Ebay AI is so useless

This ebay seller lied about what country he is shipping from. I ordered a 2 pack of Asthma inhalers as I have severe asthma, and no insurance, hence why I buy over the counter inhalers (only one brand in the US that’s FDA Approved). This seller’s item page clearly shows Denver, Colorado as the item location. The seller info on the order page and the seller’s profile clearly shows South Africa as the seller location. Ebay support over the phone was useless, and told me to report the item and request for cancellation otherwise file an item not received when the estimated delivery date has passed. I reported the listing and requested cancellation from the seller. I just now got an email back saying that Ebay’s AI found no violations of TOS. Unfortunately, there’s no way to appeal this automated decision, so I’m just SOL I guess. Ebay doesn’t even care about enforcing their own TOS.

Whatbot: Whats with all the bots lately on WN?

Is it just me or has the past two months gotten so bad with the bot problem on whatnot. Dead internet theory is real. Did you know that 80% of global internet traffic comes from bots?

WhatNot really needs to step up on enforcement of the bots. I have had multiple sellers say their Whatnot Corporate contacts pretend that the Bot issue does not exist (we all know they exist on whatnot). Some of these bots have gotten so brazen, they literally have names that are just a long string of numbers & underscores, or names that literally say bot or givvy stealer. While some of these accounts may just be satire, a good majority of them legitimately are bots, and this has been confirmed by cross-referencing delivery addresses and finding the same address getting multiple giveaways from multiple accounts. Yes, while I understand that some people have their wife go on Whatnot for giveaways too (givvy goblins you know who you are), when it’s a lot of accounts clearly shipping to the same address it’s clear to see a true bot.

Then there is the constant flooding of bots into a show right before the giveaway is set to pull, like an AI algorithm keeping track of the giveaway timers to perfectly enter as many giveaways as possible. They always leave as soon as the giveaway ends.

There is no official option to report someone for bot activity. This is a very bad situation that culminates into the perfect environment for bots. 🤖

Overall, there is an overall sentiment of people being tired of the bots on whatnot. The bots inflate the number of viewers on every stream, and this helps WhatNot’s overall profit margins. I believe that WN Corporate is deliberately ignoring the bot issue on their platform, because if we saw the real numbers on the viewer count, WhatNot would be a ghost town like Palmstreet and tiktok.

What experiences have you personally had with bots on Whatnot? Drop it in the comments down below. 👇

Sellers who make people pay for givvy shipping suck

No one wants to pay 8$ when whatnot and tiktok have FREE shipping for giveaways. Especially when its a “mystery prize” which will most likely be a grain of silver.
