BLOG: Blogging In 2022

 

Let me get this out of the way: If you are trying to make money from blogging in 2022 and beyond, you're crazy. The rise of social media and the shortening of people's attention spans are the main reasons why you should not definitely make a career from blogging. Nobody reads long texts anymore.

But look at the bright side, if your intentions of blogging is to just blog and don't give a rat's ass about the SEO, the analytics, then you should be fine.

As I wrote earlier from my very first post, the reason I blog is simply because I like blogging. I like writing long journals. As a kid, I've practiced writing anything on my diary. I don't fill my diary almost every day, but I managed to write multiple diaries throughout my life.

It's really fun, and you get to learn how to type better. Or, if you have one of those fancy grammar extension on your browser, it'll help you improve your grammars.

The other reason why I really like blogging is the feeling of being free of constant waiting for the likes and retweets on my posts. And that makes me feel a bit obsessed over it, since I'm an Asperger with an attention span of a dead squirrel.

I think the right reason for blogging in 2022 and beyond is NOT to make money, that comes later. It's to preserve the “art” of blogging. Wow, that sentence just made me pretentious, but the point still stands.

Just like horse riding and cooking, I think blogging should be preserved. I just hope one day there will be some sort of 'Blogging Revival', as the younger generations start blogging just for the hell of it.

Social media gets us all connected, but at the cost of personalities. Blogging is the place where people can read your thoughts and aspirations without character limitations or expecting a lot of clout.

BLOG: How I Got Roped Into Crazy Conspiracies, Radicalized, and How I Got Out

If you spent some time on the internet, you've probably stumbled upon some insane conspiracy theories, or at least people who believe in them. I think it's really safe to say, even you believe in at least one conspiracy theory. From harmless stuff like Flat Earth to something that's detrimental to society like the anti-vaccine movement, conspiracies are everywhere.

Even I was really deeply entrenched in conspiracy theories and almost joined a terror cell, let's talk about it.

Blogger...

Sup,

 

You know, it's been a long time since I've written any blog, especially on Blogger, or Blogspot. I don't know why I keep coming back to this website. But the thing is, I really want to keep the art of blogging alive.

 

Why? I really don't know, honestly. I thought it was to distract my mind from social media, exercise self-discipline, or maybe procrastinating? Furthermore, I'm completely unsure about it. But if I really want to be honest with you, it's because I like writing blogs.

 

I know a lot of my followers are probably too young to remember, and I feel really freaked out about it because Number 1: MY CONTENT IS 18+ ONLY, and Number 2: I'M FEELING OLD NOW DAMMIT, but blogging used to be really big. Like, REAL big.

 

How big? Well imagine your favorite vloggers, let's say, I don't know, Logan Paul. Does he still make vlogs? I don't know. But anyway. Imagine a vlog, but in text form. I know, crazy, right? Who in their right mind would have the attention span to read texts these days?
