So… Are Those News Articles Real?

Short answer?
Yes and no.

Yes, the articles exist.
Yes, you are absolutely welcome to read them.

No, I did not personally sit down at 2 AM with a cup of coffee and write “Top 10 Pool Halls You Need to Visit Before You Die.”

An AI program did that.

Why?

Because while learning how to start a business from scratch, I also discovered something called SEO, which is basically internet wizardry that determines whether your website shows up on Google… or disappears into the void where abandoned Myspace pages go to die.

Apparently, if you want Google to acknowledge your existence, you need keywords. Lots of them.

Now, I could’ve just dumped a giant block of random billiards terms onto my website like some kind of desperate internet cryptid yelling “POOL CUE 8 BALL APA BAR TABLE TOURNAMENT” into the algorithm.

But instead, I decided to experiment.

So I found a program that automatically creates and posts articles based on… honestly, I have no idea. The internet? Space magic? A robot with a sports journalism degree? Your guess is as good as mine.

The point is: those articles are there to help my little startup survive the giant chaotic gladiator arena that is online search rankings.

You are welcome to read them.

I do not.

And I probably wouldn’t use them as a trusted source of billiards wisdom unless you enjoy living dangerously.

Now, the actual blog posts? Those are real.

Those are me.

As I get time between work, life, family, sports schedules, and trying to figure out how shipping settings somehow break themselves overnight, I want to keep sharing the process of building this business.

Because I think it matters.

When you buy from a small business, you should know there’s an actual human being behind it. Someone figuring things out in real time. Someone learning as they go. Someone occasionally arguing with Shopify at midnight over button spacing.

This store didn’t come from a boardroom.

It came from a heat press, a pool team, sideline sports chaos, and me trying to make something people would genuinely enjoy wearing.

The AI articles may be helping me play the internet game.

But the business itself?
That part’s real.
