Plugins or something?

[EdgeC]

OK Netflix, how much traffic does your site get per month?

You could figure out how to do a embedded web page of sorts linking directly to BYC. I did a similar thing with my site in a attempt to add a comment box to my blog posts. I ultimately ditched it but it is possible.

I am already building it, its going to be read only as they didn't want to work with me. Also the point was, not for it to be for one website but it was to be able to allow all farmers to be able to incorporate it into their site and drive traffic towards BYC.

But they were pushing back, so I am going to build it anyways release it for free and when everyone starts using it I will drop BYC and have another company port the public data and/or use AI to crawl/ recreate the data.

Then everyone will be forced to drop BYC and move away. (It's not nice but its business)

People will move with my plugin because its easier for their business.

I am releasing the first copy, for WordPress based sites and then will adapt from there.

I was going to help, now I am just doing business.

I don't see why BYC would need a plugin so others could "integrate" it into their site. Most sites I can think of that would link here would simply link to the appropriate thread, and would drive up traffic to BYC anyways.

As an example, I have linked to BYC on my very own site. I simply put the link there. And out of the maybe 2 or so people that read my blog, maybe one of them clicked it, driving up BYC's traffic by one. If I was to "integrate" the post, much like how pasting a Reddit link here would be, it wouldn't make sense, as you need the whole thread for any of it to make sense.

There's also a link to a different site there. I didn't need a plugin to integrate that link in my article either. I simply put a link that takes one click to open.

And as a P.S. to this, BYC is THE TOP chicken website out there. I have trust issues with other sites. This site has the human element most sites don't. It's why BYC can't really be "dethroned" by other solutions, simply because of the 10+ years of sheer knowledge stored here, not to mention all of the valuable community members, past and present.

Why does it matter what you see or not? I am going to do it anyways. Prob should just close this topic. I will see you again, in about year. Talk to me then.
