- These days most of those surfing the web prefer reading status updates to blogs – it takes less time.
- You can’t see the trees because of the astroturf. Likewise, you’ll get way more link spam than comments from people who’ve actually read your content.
- If you write something over 800 words in length virtually no one will reach the end.
- To get a point across you have to keep repeating it, which is boring after a while.
- No one is interested in what you’ve got to say – not even your mom (although she’ll be monitoring your web activity because she suspects you’re taking drugs and wants ‘proof’ before she confronts you about it).
- People are conditioned for instant gratification and just click through to a new page every few seconds.
- Technorati really sucks – the rss feeds they take from blogs like this get screwed around at their end and the posts don’t show up on their site.
- No one trusts the views of bloggers because of the way PR companies have attempted to manipulate this medium.
- Sometimes it’s really difficult to even think of ten points to create a formula blog, and you waste an hour on a post instead of getting it done in five minutes.
- Blogs have gone out of fashion because they are like so noughties.

What about 10 reasons not to read your blog for a post that is truly postmodern & completely self-referential!!!!!!!!!

All bloggers are wankers!

You should try having a conversation with the junk mailers. My friend, and Nubian Princess, Cleo Nefrititi, is such a sweet old man.

You truly are a proletariat comedian. Love it! A James Joyce with witticism.

I rather like scrambled blogs myself. I don’t mind ’em fried either. But I don’t do boiled or poached!

Even sex blogs no longer appeal to the general public. They don’t want words or even words and pictures… they just want amateur porn star videos from outlets like RedTube…..

I really liked point 7 – Technorati really sucks!
Comment by raymond anderson on 2011-10-16 22:23:43 +0000
Can you send technorati round to my house please. I am feeling all MANLY!

I liked point 11 best – the one you didn’t get to….. and Technorati don’t so much suck as stink!
Comment by Stephen Burden on 2011-10-16 23:10:37 +0000
I agree with point 1 – and so you might as well do away with the post and just have the comments, or at least those that are as short as status updates!

I’m sorry. I could not get past point #3.

Compared to Wikileaks some ordinary joe’s opinions are generally pretty lame.

Would you rather post one or two blogs a week, or have your private sex videos leaked on the internet?
Comment by mistertrippy on 2011-10-17 11:37:01 +0000
Since I don’t have any private sex videos to be leaked on the internet I’m not really being offered a choice here – but if some of you wanna help me rectify this situation then there is a contact form on the main part of this website.
@ Raymond Anderson – I don’t think Technorati are manly enough to go round to your house without some serious pressure being applied to them. But thanks!
@ Michael Roth – see I said people couldn’t be bothered to read blogs any more and you just proved my point! Thanks!

Every blogger I’ve ever met in the flesh has turned out to be a jive ass mf!
