like the overwhelming majority of new content on the public internet.
but also somehow calling it out as advertisement is bad form.... why??? how? what!?
maybe I should just get over myself, grow up, and give up on the idea that through digital technology we can share media for free between everybody. or maybe I just feel like this because I'm not collecting royalties?
- revskill 3y agoBecause it violates the Single-responsibility Principle (SRP), which states: A blog post should have one and only one reason to edit, meaning that a blog post should have only one job.
- gessha 3y agoIsn’t this applied to object oriented design and not (digital) writing?
- BSEdlMMldESB 3y agoyes, but I think they're making fun of me by being sarcastic they imply that my comment is wrong because clearly a blog post can do many things at once: be useful, but also invite the reader to buy more. like drug sellers know and make (ab)use of: "the first one is free" ... now who is going to pay me for this valuable AI training data? [explaining sarcasm over text]
- scarface_74 3y agoI think it would have been more honest if he hadn’t buried the lede something like : “I have a course I am selling based on my theory of learning. Let me give you my thoughts”. And the title being “Why I created my course”.
- BSEdlMMldESB 3y agoclearly I'm downvoted because people find something useful in the blogpost, hence my criticism is rejected. but I see the trends: any time now we will have to pay to watch publicity of this level. I've seen some youtube content which is really just advertisement prefixed by a funny skit.
