Some Comments About Comments
Two weeks ago: I responded to nine (9!!) blogging friends, explaining that I located comments from the week prior and apologized for the delay in responding. The comments were not in spam, were not (and still not appearing) in JetPack and truly seemed to “appear” in my WP account after I had checked WP on my laptop the day before.
Since week-old comments randomly “appearing” sounds ridiculous, I assumed it was my oversight. I updated the apps and cleared cache from my laptop just to be sure.
Last Monday: When I posted on 4/13, I logged into WP for the first time in a week since I was traveling and only using JetPack. Sure enough, twelve (12!!) comments were waiting – but only two are visible in JetPack.
This time, I deleted the app, re-downloaded and cleared history again.
Comments are still not visible in the app, only in my WP account on my computer(s).
So… Anyone noticing a major shift in comments functioning in the JetPack app?
I have attempted to use the WP app several times and it’s not a useful tool. JetPack (usually) functions better overall.
In summary, it appears that viewing the actual WP account is the only true way to see all activity and those comments otherwise covered in a cloak of invisibility on JetPack.
I’m hoping this is only a short-term issue and will be rectified soon.

#BlogComments #blogging #comments #JetPack #WordPressAI spam is still obvious
Here is some recent AI spam. This comment actually talks about the topic of the post, which is a step up from the generic one-size-fits-all comments.
Not shown are a number of clues that identify this as spam. Shown is the text and the link. The link alone gives it a spammy vibe. The text, though – that’s where the uncanny valley kicks in. The comment itself shows no actual comprehension. The result is so completely generic to be obvious at a glance. No human would write that after reading my review.
There are other clues, too. I’m going to keep them to myself because I have no intention of helping to train a spamming AI model.
