Hi everyone! I wanted to ask about your experience with Ajovy: after how many injections did you start noticing a substantial difference?

Before starting Ajovy, I used to have around 12–14 migraine episodes per month, with many of them lasting 2–3 days. After the first month, I noticed a clear decrease in the intensity, and the frequency went down to around 6–7 episodes per month.

I've now completed three months of Ajovy, and I'm wondering about other people's experiences. Did you notice the biggest improvement within the first three months, or did Ajovy continue to become more effective after additional doses?

I'm not sure whether this is the maximum benefit I can expect from the treatment or whether there's still a chance of further improvement over the next few months.

Thank you! Wishing you all many migraine-free days! 😊

My husband has been working on Upwork since the early days of the platform. He is Top Rated Plus, 100% JSS, with a long history of completed contracts and substantial earnings on the platform.

Recently, a new client contacted him directly for a packaging design project and sent him an hourly offer at his normal profile rate. The client’s payment method was verified.

My husband accepted the contract and worked using the Upwork Time Tracker only ( no manual time).

The project included research, design strategy, and structural packaging development. His Work Diary contains screenshots showing the actual client project being worked on, and many of the 10-minute segments show 8/10, 9/10, or 10/10 activity.

The memo used for the first project phase was: Research & Design Strategy

This was not a random generic memo. It was the exact name of the project phase he had previously explained in detail to the client in their Upwork messages. Later, he made it even more specific: Research & Design Strategy (Research on possible practical solutions)

The contract was then paused, later restarted, and Upwork explicitly showed that time tracking could resume. He resumed work, and the contract was paused again a few days later.

Eventually, the client’s payment failed. Upwork then reversed all the earnings for two weeks, citing: Insufficient Memos & Low Activity.

There were a few individual 10-minute blocks with low activity, and we are not disputing that those specific segments could potentially be excluded.

What we cannot understand is why 100% of the hours were reversed, including many segments showing 9/10 or 10/10 activity, project-specific screenshots, and relevant memos.

He appealed and specifically requested a segment-by-segment review, asking Upwork to identify which individual blocks failed Payment Protection requirements and why. Upwork replied that the case has now been escalated to the appropriate specialist team for review.

I’m curious whether anyone here has experienced something similar recently. Has Upwork rejected Hourly Payment Protection because a memo was considered “insufficient” even though the Time Tracker screenshots clearly showed the work? Has anyone successfully appealed a full reversal and had some or all qualifying segments restored? Does Upwork actually review these cases segment by segment, or can one issue with some blocks cause the entire weekly payment to be reversed?

After many years on Upwork, this is the first time my husband has encountered anything like this. He also believed he was protected by that Payment Protection.

Thank you in advance!

Hi! I’ve been using Magnific AI for a while for mockups and I noticed something strange recently.

A few weeks ago, everything worked fine. I could upload a logo, and most of the models would correctly place and preserve it.

But now, I’m getting very inconsistent results depending on the model: Auto mode keeps the exact logo, Seedream 5 Lite also works correctly, Google Nano Banana 2 Lite often replaces the logo with random or similar-looking branding, GPT2, same issue, ignores the uploaded logo and generates new ones instead

The weird part is that it used to work fine before, even on the same models/settings.

It feels like something changed in how image references are handled.

Has anyone else noticed this lately? Or does anyone know if there were recent model updates that affected image/reference fidelity?

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I am looking for some insight into a strange analytics mystery on my channel.

I have a hobby cooking channel (8.8k subs) focused on moody, aesthetic, "no music/no talk" ASMR recipes. I haven't posted consistently in 2–3 years.

Out of nowhere, starting around June 11th, one specific video started getting a massive surge in views.

Here are the bizarre facts from my Advanced Analytics:

1. Over 90% of the traffic is coming from "YouTube advertising" (specifically Skippable video ads - Auction).

2. My impressions and click-through rates (CTR) are completely flat at 0. I am absolutely not running, authorizing, or paying for any campaigns.

3. 100% of these views are originating from Japan.

4. It's heavily skewed toward older demographics (37.8% are 55–64, and 62.2% are 65+).

5. A huge portion is watching on TV (25%) and Computer (32%), and the average view duration is high (nearly a full minute), which makes me think it's real people, not a mobile bot farm.

6. Zero new comments or community interaction.

Has anyone seen this happen to an older or inactive channel before? Thanks!
