So, somewhat sadly, this kind of advertising is possible given the reputation that WordPress has for some people. I've no idea how to combat this, but I'm curious to hear what you'd do...? Really though... 999 updates?!?!

@nathan "the solution that will fix all your problems" ๐Ÿ‘€ Get that to cancer research ASAP!

Or do we haveโ€ฆ wrong advertisement? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

@nathan I encourage all my new builds to accept a maintenance plan. Tested updates, off-site backups, etc. Everyone on it is happy.

I mostly build for a design shop who handles the client, and I'm trying to convince them to let me turn on auto-update everything for the sites that don't accept the maintenance plan. Logic being that a broken site (from update issues) is better than a hacked site. Coming up time for me to tackle that issue againโ€ฆ

@nathan given we have politicians blatantly lying and gas lighting us on so many fronts, misleading advertising like this feels par for the course ๐Ÿ˜ž
@JaiBop I've no idea what you're on about. All the political ads that I've seen in my lifetime have been wholesome, fair, balanced and non-partisan. ๐Ÿ˜œ
