Why Mr. Trump shouldn’t have closed his blogging platform merely due to ‘numbers,’ is all herein underneath. I’m contending a case for the Blogging Publishing Platform, in general.
Internet is still decent because of few Active Users (minus the Passive ones). Passive ones are the individuals who’re not only reluctant in their specifics but also their User Data is mostly exploited by Social Media Intermediaries, all for free. Passive Users are fed, irrespective of their taste, through algorithms, manipulated, whilst Social Media intermediaries earn revenues from that. This is one of 21st Century’s biggest invention.
Mr. Trump recently closed his blog because of low hits, up to15k a day. I say, shouldn’t have done that. Because Blogging is a platform for Active Users (who’re very few remaining in the current age of Internet), who knows what to search for to read in coherence with their taste. And 15k Active Users a day, really matters. And why blogging is not alike Social Media Intermediary, for the reason, even the most detritus things on Social Media trends because of Passive Users. They’re not into much reading or writing part, of course. Besides, TECH wants to convey to Passive Zombies that if you build create promote anything as per TECH’s logic or taste, (relevant or not), your account would be monitized or verified. This created weeds of Passive Users on Internet, who keep randomly clicking rather search before clicking, whether music or an article or otherwise. This is alike absorbing randomknowledge in the library & then creating own content, for the rest, and Social Media Intermediaries thrived on such Users.
Blogging is one of the only remaining relevant publishing platform, which is NOT a Social Media nonsense in anyway. And even few hits on Blogs, truly matter.🙂
