Double-U Tee Eff on teh Intertubes
posted on Saturday, April 19, 2008 @ 1:25 pm
Read your long but nicely written blog entry, thought up something nice to say, clicked “write a comment” and your blogging software of choice made me join their service first. Reading your long and very hyperlinked blog entry; hey wait a minute, it’s a frigging sponsored post! Reading your long blog entry; okay, I can’t even read what you’re writing. What happened to line-height and colour contrast?
University assignments have drained me of my intelligence and coherence (if applicable); I’m reduced to saying all but four words: What the fuck, people?

Comment rules yo:
- I'm interested in penis enlargement, but my spam filter isn't.
- Feel free to leave the email field blank.
- Swearing is totally fine.
- Know me in real life, have something to say? No problem, go ahead.
However, please kindly refrain from replying to the comments or questions that I left on your blog here — they belong on your own blog. Thanks!

Sponsored posts are so lame!! And then to restrict comments to only those logged in…talk about signing up for future junk Once I realize I am reading a sponsored post I normally just run away.

So, THIS is where you got off to. L-F wouldn’t forward me so I was wond’ring.
Anyhows. The text on my blog is tiny, I’ll give you that, but it seems body {line-height: -100%} is quite common in blogs these days, and while some people have no eye for color contrast, at least moving, blinking yellow backgrounds with neon green text are extinct these days, yes?

To have to sign up for anything, unless it’s Gravatar that I see on people’s sites, it just seems really lame of the site author. Don’t they know that people don’t like to have to do more than click submit, and that they’re probably losing tons of comments?
I don’t like sponsored posts either. It seems lame to include them in their main blog section.
Oh, and the ones that can’t figure out how to make words readable, that’s even better. Worst part is when it’s part of a near-monochromatic design that you kind of like, and you don’t have the hear to tell them that you have to copy and paste their post into Notepad to read it.

The lamest of all is not actually labelling posts as sponsored. That’s sneakiness.

I hate it also when I go and read someone’s blog and then I’m going to comment on it and I have to join their service to do so. That really makes me mad as well.

It’s not university, trust me. It’s the blogging world that is starting to decline…
The joining: who does that anymore? Oh wait… if you can get banned for lurking why am I surprised.
P.S. I LOVE you site name

OMFG YOU READ MY BLOG?!!!!!11!1!
(And FYI - “clam banana” on Jem’s site isn’t a typo, it’s a joke.)

What an original domain name! I agree with your rant though, sponsored posts are a complete pain in the backside if not labelled properly. And to sign up just to write a comment? No thanks..

Love your brief profile, especially the last part (”No wait, come back!”). Cracked me up good
