Subject: WordPress — Editorial and Economic Harm Resulting from the Advertising Policy Applied to bernardgrua.net

January 28, 2026,

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am formally bringing to your attention the advertising policy currently applied by WordPress to my site bernardgrua.net, which has been hosted on your platform for more than twelve years.

The progressive but now massive increase in advertising insertions — particularly intrusive and repetitive visual formats — directly obscures editorial content, disrupts reading continuity, and severely impairs the user experience. This situation has resulted in a noticeable decline in traffic and explicit rejection by loyal readers.

Editorial and Economic Harm

Since 2014, I have published 536 articles and invested continuous work in editorial production, content structuring, and search engine optimization. This work has created stable and qualified traffic, now exploited by WordPress’ advertising system in conditions that undermine the purpose and readability of the content.

This results in a clear editorial and economic harm, including:

  • degradation of access to texts,
  • loss of readership,
  • weakening of search engine rankings in the medium term,
  • a manifest imbalance between the value created by the author and the conditions under which this value is now exploited.

This evolution, implemented without real consultation or effective control by the author, amounts to a unilateral capture of the value produced, to the detriment of the integrity of the content and its normal dissemination.

Request for Concrete Measures

I therefore request that WordPress indicate:

  • what concrete measures it intends to implement to reduce the advertising pressure applied to my site,
  • the timeline for these measures to be implemented,
  • and the methods WordPress intends to use to maintain a balance between advertising exploitation and respect for the editorial work hosted on its platform.

This action aims to stop ongoing harm and restore conditions compatible with normal reading and the maintenance of the search engine optimization built over the long term.

In the absence of a detailed response and effective corrective measures within a reasonable timeframe, I will be compelled to consider any appropriate action to protect the integrity of my content, its search engine ranking, and the trust relationship established with my readers.

Publication and Transparency

In accordance with a policy of editorial transparency, this letter is intended to be published on my WordPress site as well as on other publishing platforms (Medium, Blogger).
For reference:

I look forward to your detailed response.

Bernard Grua

Chapursan Valley, analysis of Ms Ramla Akhtar's posts against the Wakhi minority - credibility assessment of alleged conspiracy theories – concerns about imported extremism

Image
Ramla Akhtar wrote numerous posts about Chapursan Valley . They are contrary to the general opinion. Because Gojal, a region located in the northern mountainous part of Pakistan at the Afghanistan and China corner, is still not an area with a high tourist frequentation. Nevertheless, unanimous reports praise its hospitality, its peaceful people and its pristine environment. The Facebook blog page “Black Mountain, Dragon Soul - a Wounded Mystic Spins Her Yarn" exposes a different point of view. While Ramla Akhtar (aka Rmala Aalam), the contributor of this blog, is a local resident with an external background, it is of importance to review what she reveals of a risks faced, according to her, by solo female travelers in Chapursan Valley. We will look to the sources and inspirations of such a novel. We will try to separate what is part of ancient myths and what pertains to the today reality or imagination. Then, we will learn more on how the shock of cultures and traditions between...

At the knot of past empires: Zoodkhun, a Wakhi village in the high Chapursan Valley of Pakistan

Image
At the top of Upper Hunza in an area called Gojal, Zood Khun stretches in Chapursan Valley . It is a village having numerous characteristics in common with other Wakhi settlements of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and, may be, China (though, not directly observed in this last country). However, its isolation at the very end of a narrow dirt road, coming from Sost, and its altitude of 3,300 m, make it, sometimes, different in term of tradition resilience, scenery, available resources and way of life. The following description will try to show this specificity as to project it into a more general background. May some readers decide to visit this interesting place, to discover its peaceful beauty, and to enjoy the cordial hospitality of its friendly inhabitants. Table of content Part 1 - Zood Khun preserves a scenic and authentic oasis landscape Part 2 - Zood Khun ressources are limited but represent tangible assets Part 3 - Zood Khun sources of past and present religious traditio...

Russian Extreme Travels in Pakistan - Экстремальные Путешествия

Image
Russian Extreme Travels , aka Trekking in Altai , aka Extreme Travels in Russia , is a tourist company doing business in Pakistan. In June 2019, ten years after her first entry into this country, Ms Olga Leonidovna Ozerova , aka Olga Sim (Ольга Сим) , one of its employee/partners, took a key part, as a shadow advisor, in the start-up of a slanderous campaign against the Wakhi community of Northern Pakistan and against its western visitors. Eventually, in January 2021, she openly revealed a plan of filing a claim for terrorism, in Pakistan, against a French citizen, with the help of false witnesses. Such an interference in a third country may cause irrecoverable damages to Russian Extreme Travels business.
