Although lots of websites are crappy, it does seem like the mommy blog space is particularly bad. I think this is somehow rooted in how women and moms get treated, but I don't know how to articulate that at the moment. I did the full time mom thing for nearly two decades. I have blogged for 15+ years. I never have done what she describes. I spend time on HN in part because some people here make real money for real work via the web. I used to be more bitter about not getting the kind of help I want for figuring out how to do what I do better and make more serious money at it, but discussions of the crisis in making money from ads has convinced me that men who know how to make real money online don't know how to effectively do what I do. So, I kind of have this hypothesis that effectively making money as a woman doing "girly" sorts of things is kind of virgin territory. No, I don't think selling my soul to give reviews of products for sample products or whatever while claiming it is "my 100% honest opinion" constitutes development of the space. That is not something I ever plan to do.
