true blogs are dead (yes, scotsman). I sometimes miss the old internet. now get off my lawn.
ironically, OP's blog's purpose is also to sell ads and ebooks. In the early 00s he's talking about, people blogged just because they felt like it and didn't complain about monetizing strategies. techcrunch? what techcrunch? 2005 is not 2000.
- klibertp 14y agoI think the author is concerned exactly because his blog purpose is to sell ads. He even wrote it at the end of his post. I guess he just would like to sell ads using quality content - his own content - and not by aggregating tons of crap and producing even more of it. Maybe he even tries - I don't know, I didn't read anything besides this post. But the fact is that this doesn't work anymore - and that's just sad.
- zalew 14y agothe whole premise of his post is completely flawed. he talks like he misses 'the old days', but in the old days nobody gave a crap about ads. he's complaining that he's too weak to make a living of blogging while back then nobody even thought of that. 'the blogosphere' meant linked blogs of friends and foafs, not cross-posting every piece of turd to 10 social networks and upvote sites so you get more likes and clicks.
