Internet Content & Blogging

There are too many people thinking they have important things to say. In the old days you would have experts who would put up the information. Now you have everyone thinking that they can and they should "create" their own website, which is really just rehashing the popular opinions.

For example nutrition and the idea that fruit juice isn't good for you. There is some sort of theoretical argument there, but it's not enough to go around just jamming it everywhere that you shouldn't drink fruit juice. You have so many sites like who all they're doing is going around reading other blogs and similar websites and throwing it out as their own ideas. They don't seem to realize that all of these sites aren't reaching a "consensus", they're all simply copying each other. They're copying one another, the next person comes along then and creates a similar website with all the same mistakes and shady claims.

I blame the culture as well. The almost obscene positivity flying around about "creating" stuff. Just stop... stop going around copy and pasting stuff. Stop trying to appear productive and doing something cause you're really not .
