i started writing a post about mommybloggers a few days ago. i swear i started writing it before i clicked on over to citizen’s crib.
this is further proof to me that we are all one big fat brain, billions of thoughts being transferred back and forth between humans and the miles that separate them. this isn’t the first time i’ve noticed it, it happens a lot. i’ll be thinking about something and then i’ll read someone’s blog about it, or hear something on the radio or television.
so, i was reading citizen’s post about mommybloggers, which was inspired by this women’s post about mommybloggers.
hopefully this won’t offend anyone, sorry if “it do” but i feel the need to write about it. not sure why, just do. i only recently realized why so many blogs have the same ads, and all sponsored by “blogher”.
if you read the queen of spain’s post, it goes into more detail regarding the revenue generated for “mommyblogging”. personally, i consider this SWEET!
i have no issue with people that are able to sell ad space on their blogs and receive income. i think it is amazing. i thoroughly enjoy not being held down by the man, almost as much as i like sticking it to the man. the years of control by big business, government, churches, the catholic church.
in fact, after reading the queen’s post i got a annoyed that advertisers are trying to hold the “proverbial carrot” over some heads. that is wrong, trying to control other people for your own personal GAIN IS WRONG.
when i need to research something, i usually turn straight to blogs. the reason i do this is i assume people were writing about stuff they like for the same reason i do, to be helpful. being the idealist that i am, i figured that i could trust a blogger’s opinion over an advertisement in a magazine.
i notice after reading the queen’s post, that i am a bit suspicious of product endorsements. i don’t want to be, but i am.
now here’s the part that might make someone mad, but this is not my intention. i’ve noticed that some (NOT ALL) mommy blogs all *sound* alike. meaning, it’s hard to know if i’ve actually closed my browser window and gone to another blog.
i am not making a statement that this is a bad thing, it’s just not something i enjoy. there is a place in the world for everyone, and everything. i don’t have to like all of it, and neither do you.
luckily we aren’t all robots. yet.
