They stole their code from Yoast SEO (multiple times… yet for “diversity” never banned from WordPress.org)

their shit code has spyware in it

their entire reputation was built using sockpuppets spammers and fake blog reviews they paid off dumbass Indian shills to write

“Paid influences dropping videos and comments. All Indians.”

“Avoid RM like a plague! If at all you want to use a an SEO plugin that isn’t Yoast, then let it be AIOSEO plugin. Rank Math is rigged and most of its reviews are paid for and promoted.”

“Webmaster Lesson 1: Avoid Indian products/recommendations. Webmaster Lesson 2: Avoid Indians.”

[Justin]

AVOID and do not install Rank Math SEO to your WordPress site or spyware can infect.

Thoughts on SEO plugins? Yeost vs Rankmath vs Squirrly (or any other SEO plugin) from WordPress

“Rank math built their own reputation by astroturfinf, sockpuppetting and spamming the shit out of social media, including Reddit. F**k those guys.”

[Angela]

all they do is spam fake 5-star reviews everywhere, thousands and thousands of them

“No, avoid Mythemeshop’s stuff. These two posts correlate with my own findings when researching this plugin (I’m a SEO professional), so I’ll post them instead of spending the next 30 minutes trying to write something up.

Many of the features they promise shouldn’t be in a plugin, and if they do manage to offer them (many features still don’t work) it will be a huge load on your server and site. Also many of the feature they offer are not easy data to get, so they’re either making them up based on easy to get Google data (which is heavily filtered), harvesting them illegally from one of the big data providers (which means they’ll continually have to play the IP blocking game), or actually paying to access the API’s from one of the big providers. This data won’t be cheap on this kind of level, so they need to fund it somehow, which means they’re likely data harvesting from sites and YOU are the product here, not the plugin.

I tend to give Yoast a really hard time, but their plugins and business practices look saintly compared to MyThemeShop.”

“I’ve seen people on Blackhatworld telling others not to use it. It allegedly collects sensitive data.”

“I poked through the code this afternoon, and the obvious stuff they were collecting was far too much (literally in a tracking.php file). The a lot of the JS was unreadable (and its not open source), and anything other than base functionality was offloaded to the own servers with who knows what happening there.”

more from Reddit link

“MyThemeShop is scamming people for long time already… look in their WP theme control panel (screen shot)

they will block you out from your theme settings if you did not connect to their membership

so if you stop paying their membership you cannot update your design!!!! WTF

Indian scammers…. DO NOT USE any of their product… spyware embed to all of their WordPress product!!!!!!”

Researchers have discovered two vulnerabilities in WordPress SEO plugin – Rank Math – which has over 200,000 installations. The most critical of these is a privilege escalation vulnerability that can allow attackers to revoke and grant administrator privileges to any registered users.

Why did WordPress.org moderators help them so much, deleting negative reviews and publishing fake 5 star reviews?

Everyone knows for some years already about Rank Math bullshit see this

Yoast is not much better. In fact both of those plugins should never be used if you care about privacy and security of your site.
