Are AI Subscriptions Worth Their Cost?

by

AI subscription cost comparison chart: Claude Pro AI at $20/month for everyday productivity vs SuperGrok AI subscriptions at $30/month vs X Premium $8/month, displaying AI costs and pricing options

I have an X premium subscription at $84 a year – LOVE it and what Elon Musk has brought to X after basically stealing it from the Progressives (they still can’t forgive him for that). I have a self-hosted blog at Hostinger that’s about $336 every 4 years (works out to about $84 a year). That’s it for my subscriptions (other than two monthly AI subscriptions to test for this post), since I live on less than the US Poverty Guidelines.

I’ve basically merged the two. X premium has an excellent AI in with that package—Grok 3. Blog posts get copied over to X composer – though I’ve started making that post more of a brief teaser rather than being copied entirely. Some of the most interesting X posts get added to the blog’s sidebar using X/Publish. Even the poor in America can have expensive hobbies – IF they manage the money right.

AI technical support comparison for WordPress showing different AI performance results

When AI Technical Help Goes Wrong (And How to Get It Right)

After over a year of wrestling with WordPress technical issues across multiple AI platforms, I’ve learned something valuable: not all AI technical support is created equal. Some AIs excel at creative tasks but stumble on systematic troubleshooting with WordPress technical support. Others get stuck in endless loops, suggesting the same failed solutions repeatedly.

Working primarily with Claude as my “Sidekick” while occasionally testing Grok 3, ChatGPT, Copilot, and others, I’ve discovered distinct patterns in how different AIs handle technical problems. Here’s what we learned from real-world WordPress battles with AI technical support tools.

RankMath Free Features Deep Dive: What You Actually Get [Part 4]

by

RankMath free features collage showing XML sitemap generation, 404 monitoring, redirections management, social media optimization ratios, 86/100 SEO score, and Google Search Console couldn't fetch status - demonstrating comprehensive free tier capabilities

Picture this: You’re exploring RankMath free features and checking Google Search Console, feeling pretty good about your RankMath setup, when suddenly you see it. Red text. “Couldn’t fetch sitemap.” Your heart sinks a little. Did something break? Is Google ignoring your carefully crafted content?

This exact scenario hit me while working on this RankMath series. After successfully bumping my SEO scores from 71 to 77 across the first three posts, I discovered what looked like a major problem: Google couldn’t fetch my sitemap, even though RankMath was proudly showing it had generated one.

Here’s what I learned – and why this “problem” actually became the perfect showcase for RankMath’s free features.

Grok to WordPress & X: Overcoming Formatting Hurdles

by

 

Grok WordPress formatting can be challenging when trying to copy from LibreOffice or MS Word into the X composer. How do you suggest to a Billionaire (richest human on planet, in fact) a possible way to make more money on a business he basically stole from the Progressives? BTW, they are still whining about Elon Musk stealing Their *BELOVED* Twitter from them – after almost three years!? They want to destroy all his businesses now. I would put an emoji or two or three at this point, but … but I’ll explain later in this post. Anyway, here I am getting less than $1,000 a month from Social Security – trying to write a post suggesting a possible way the richest man on the planet can make more money on X (formerly owned by Progressives).

Chatting with My Sidekick Grok on Musk’s “America Party”

by

The idea of a Musk America Party has been floating around political discussions lately, so I decided to chat with my AI sidekick Grok about what Elon Musk’s political party might actually look like. Consulted with Grok, xAI’s incisive AI assistant, to unpack Elon Musk’s proposed “America Party” and its viability for the 2026 midterms. Musk’s ambition to disrupt the two-party system is a bold claim, so I posed two pointed questions to Grok to gauge the party’s progress and explore a strategic alternative to running candidates. For perspective, I also asked ChatGPT the same first question, and its data-driven take—especially the 10–15% support figure—adds a sharp contrast. Here’s our exchange, with my questions, Grok’s analysis, and how it stacks up against ChatGPT’s view.

Question 1: Is the America Party Gaining Traction?
