Your Click, Your Choice

Unfortunately, there are "bad" men just like there are "bad" women. If you're quick to point out the "badness" in the opposite sex while claiming that those of your gender are always the victims, I'm looking at you "one kain" already.

It's great to hear stories about good men/women. I'll be happy to share both on my wall and on my page. You and I know, though, that you're more likely to read a story about a man that turned up dead after collecting a handkerchief from attractive woman than you are to read about a happy marriage.

In fact, a friend carried out a social experiment...She has been blogging since 2008. The most viewed blog post on her blog is one titled "Caught in the act...and killed" (She was actually talking about cockroaches)...  Blog posts/articles with 'clean'/happy themes don't usually get many clicks; commercial bloggers need clicks to get paid...What you reward (with your clicks) is what gets repeated. If you want more "happy" stories, vote with your click. If not, please don't whine about negativity...It's literally in your hands...

I know this because I'm a blogger. I'm happy to inform, though, that I don't pay my bills with blogging so I can afford to pick and choose...It'll be nice to make money blogging/on social media (any money I make online goes to NGOs/causes I support anyway) but that it's the main reason why I do what I do. .

I learnt (from my husband) never to look down on others because their choices are different from mine so I won't villify any blogger/writer that pushes out what will get them clicks/views. I won't even tell anyone how to use their data...Those that concern me are those that donate their clicks/views to bad news then turn around to whine about "all the negativity" around...

How has your day been?
