Some of the dark sides f blogging.
I recently added my newly re-re-re-redesigned blog to my HN profile, haven't linked it anywhere else or told anyone and already I'm getting tons of bot traffic trying attack it as though it were a wordpress site.
Write a blog, but understand that the interwebz isn't as naive as it used to be.
- 6510 4y agoI discover by accident that if you share a website with specific people you get a lovely small audience of actual users. Nowadays people also never promote your site which is an advantage in this case. Not even google will index without some doing. You get no spam and don't have to pay attention to resource usage. The cheap hosting allows for high resolution images, dozens of GB videos, heavy server side scripts etc And if the hit counter moves to fast you programmatically shut it down for the day.
