If you have a blog, then write your own content.
This is something I feel strongly about. And it could explain why I don’t update that often. But when I do, I sit here and I type everything out. I don’t go on a big copy and paste stealing other peoples ideas or views and then produce it as my own. I’ve been thinking about writing this for a while now, everytime I would start, I would stop. However, I can’t hold this is anylonger.
The most popular post on my website is this one Why Melbourne Sucks with 94 comments. Although every comment is moderated, it is simply to stop the hate comments from getting through. Some of them are nasty and don’t need to be seen. However, everything else, is published. What pisses me off, is that a website, who beleives that they are some sort of niche online magazine, simply wrote one paragraph and then proceeded to copy 3 comments from my post.
After sending them an email informing them that I was not impressed with their lack of ability of writing an article instead of stealing from elsewhere, their response was a sarcastic haha im better then you. It almost made me want to visit their office and pull the carrot out of their butts. They did the one thing I absolutely hate. And for now, it is time to call them out for it.
