For me it’s the “Do X” phrasing that’s the problem. It’s like barking unsolicited, universal life advice at the world. Especially when peppered with instructions like “don’t listen to anyone who tells you different.” It feels as if a lot of bloggers think this imperative, imperious tone is necessary to be noticed and taken seriously. There’s nothing wrong with blogging about something that works well for you, in case a reader can use [some part of] it in their own lives.
