If you're sharing it with your friends and family, why does it matter if Google can find it? And if they are your friends why wouldn't you share it with them directly? The Internet felt a lot better when people were making the content for themselves and a community that they were part of.
- johnnyanmac 2y ago>and a community that they were part of. well that's the issue. There is no "small community" these days like there would be in the Usenet days. At least not a genreal purpose one for blogging whatever is on your mind. My parents wouldn't really care much about the content so much as supporting me. My friends don't necessarily share all the same interests as me. So you want to seek out like strangers on the internet to bond with. That's part of why we transitioned to early web 2.0 of utilizing a middleman to host content, and use that to attract a community. The internet grew and people could focus exclusively on what they were genuinely interested in, as opposed to subscribing to users directly.
