When did blogging suddenly become about the money instead of the thoughts ?
When did blogging become a sort of advertising ?
What happened to the old school blogging on personal nonesense and bullshit on whatever your thoughts come up with with no regards at all to hOwEvEr wAy YoU wAnNa tYpE yoUR bLoG ?
No matter how ‘jologs’ or stupid those bloggers are, you have to admit, they do entertain you in their own way. From how they enjoy sitting beside this hot looking dude in the jeepney, to what they think about their maid who doesn’t know how to cook that came from Capiz.
Of course there are those who writes pretty well and puts exaggerated bullshits in their stories for you to think that they had such an interesting adventure. From sharing their problems they have with their families, to the trips they enjoyed with their barkada last Christmas.
Nah. We rarely see those kind of blogs anymore. Right now all we get are these so called ‘bloggers’ who update their blogs 4-5x per week making reviews of some foot powder they’ve been using on their faces. Or the ones where they visit Aling Maming’s carinderia to show you the menu of goat dishes and tell you how orgasmic they taste.
It’s like watching television that’s full of commercials with no real program at all.
And I’m the one being told to have a serious blog. Blogs are supposed to be serious ? I never got the memo.
I do understand where some of these are coming from. Hey if you do have an interesting blog and do get traffic, advertisers pay you to put their silly ass stamps on your blog site. You even get free passes to photoshoots and events and parties and orgies and shits.
I dunno man. I just kinda feel bad for some people. Blogging used to be about wanting to write something. Nowadays, it’s more of needing to write something.
P.S. This entry is just about my thoughts. Please don’t get mad.
