There's no blame, it's just an observation.
One could use WordPress or Hugo. Or a Reddit account. The latter brings instant viewership and feedback. The former gives you more control.
There's no fight here, people choose what they want.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoI use blogger, the thing the article claims doesn't exist. I have a zillion blogs. I'm telling you from firsthand experience that it's hard to get traffic, it's hard to monetize, etc. So it's unsurprising that some people go "Fuck it. I don't care. I'm just going to talk somewhere on the internet." And the irony is even if you go that route, people will give you hell. One of the most common criticisms I get on HN boils down to "Bitch, go start a blog and stop leaving long comments on HN telling us about your life." when I have a zillion blogs and I'm pretty choosy about what I say here.
