I think we will tell our children someday about how relevant blogs were at the start of internet. How citizen journalists actually had relevance before the media conglomerates figured out how brew the proper mix of pay-per-click, and social content narcotic. I’m under no illusions, that time has passed and the medium has been corpratized monetized and throughly fucked. I will begrudgingly except this sites lack of relevance and inability to rise above the likes of the social channels. That doesn’t mean however that i have any intention of shutting up shop. the motivation is different, the things i write here belong to me, are for my edification and should someone out in the big world of the internet besides the spam bots see it, good on them. This is content for content’s sake, nothing more.
