- moffkalast 4y agoBecause in 99.99% of cases they won't and you'll benefit from mass viewership? If you keep backups you can always go on your own in case that happens, and you also get the controversy to boost interest.
- forgotpwd16 4y ago>benefit from mass viewership Assuming that's something a blog's author cares about. But even if that is, you can always share a link to social media.
- moffkalast 4y agoIdk, it sound easier for followers to just automatically get notified of a new post instead of having to manually shill it every time.
- mylons 4y agoyou can use those platforms to market your blog. i’m literally doing this and getting thousands of views a month on a 2 month old site. that’s not filling the 99.99% — maybe just the unimaginative
- bachmeier 4y ago> Because in 99.99% of cases they won't That's because 99.99% of the time people don't break the rules, because they know it's easy to get banned. > you'll benefit from mass viewership Probably not. It works for some, but take a truly random sample of Twitter users and calculate the percentage that have more than 10,000 followers.
- eternalban 4y agoCorr: You’ll benefit from the illusory perception of mass viewership. That bit of psychological crack is the secret sauce of these platforms. I supposedly have 3 digit follower count on tweeter. Now that the view count is in my face in the timeline, all the fun has gone out of tweeting. It was likely always like this but I hadn’t bothered to check. And guess what? I’ve decided to stop wasting my time. Nothing Elon had done to date was as motivating to quit as that view count.
- WhiteBlueSkies 4y agoBecause platform is interconnected. How many people's blog posts do you check daily? On twitter you just click a button and have everyone's low IQ tweets to get angry/rant about.
- dsr_ 4y ago> How many people's blog posts do you check daily? Several hundred, of which maybe 20 have something to say on any given day. RSS is awesome.
