Do you ever feel like the whole thing has been co-opted into some
distasteful competition for comments and higher traffic numbers?

Like blogrolling is done for status as opposed to fandom or true friendship?

Like some bloggers would put out for a higher technorati rating?

Like the whole 'verse is about to implode due to it's own (undeserved)
self-satisfaction?

Like the blog world reeks of the exact wrong way to try to bolster self-esteem?

Like people care too much, while not caring nearly enough?

Like it isn't what it once was?

(Or maybe it's just that you're not?)

Like even the occasional brilliants post, or amazing acts, are being
lost in the cacophony of "I NEVER have sex on the first date, but I
was drunk"ness?

Do you ever feel like nobody fucking writes anymore?

I mean really writes.

Or at least makes an effort.

Do you ever feel like the post you are about to publish is going to
burn bridges and lose you some traffic?

Do you give a shit?
