I took a look at your blog from another post of yours (fascinating stuff, based on what I can tell from Google Translate, at least). Any chance you were secretly penalized because of some of the more risqué content on your site?

Well I feel cheated, as an introvert that never stayed in touch with anyone from college and who went into a wildly divergent field from my major. I didn't experience either of the major benefits you're touting; the education was
