So, I think my little point about the internet has been well proven.
About two weeks ago, I started up two blogs on the anonymous blogging site. Don't bother looking for them, they are now gone as they have served their purposes and were both unbearingly dull, and maybe a little embarassing.
On one blog, I basically copied and pasted very informative articles and interesting information about things in general, and did not talk at all about my personal life. I actively commented on multiple blogs, became a follower to as many people as possible, and generally tried to put myself out there as much as possible. I posted at least three or four posts a day, ensuring I had good coverage of the front page.
On the other blog, I did something far more entertaining, and far less potentially criminal than it sounds: I pretended to be a 15 year old girl. I posted nothing of any real substance, but instead kept my posts grammatically mediocre, related to a boy and some bitches and things along those lines, and posted about twice a day, with one post consisting of a short little blurb, and the other of a long bitch session about how this guy wouldn't like me, or that girl is such a whore, or what have you. Really, this was quite easy as I just had to read a few of the other blogs on the site to get in the proper mindset. I did not comment elsewhere and favorited only a few "similar souls".
As I kind of figured but had hoped against, after these two weeks, my more intelligent and interesting blog has no comments and seven follows for 38 posts.
For my 20 post effort, the last being written today and stating something to the effect of I would no longer be blogging because it interfered with me cutting myself, I got the above picture.
I wonder what the inventors of the internet would say if they could see this.
After I write this, I look and notice you have 23 followers for 11 posts. I feel that as your posts are neither boringly informative or the ramblings of a 14 year old girl that I should use you as my "normal" control group if I ever decide to pretend to write a paper on this study. In that light, it's kind of heartening to know normal is more popular than either.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, oh man, I read this and laughed really hard for a while. I can easily picture you talking to an overly developed, wrist cutting 14 year old, pretending to relate to them in a mocking way, and have them be entirely oblivious. In fact, I bet you've done that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, normal and popular, I like that.
ReplyDeletecome back on Facebook and talk to me, you silly human.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, my "other" blogs. I ended up having a legit one for two years that I wrote along side this one. Wonder what happened to it.
