Blog

I was watching a video of how to set up a website as I set up this website (don’t worry, I watched the whole video) and it advised that one should create a blog post by:

1. Searching trending topics
2. Using AI prompts to generate content based on the most trending topic
3. Add those #tags
4. Hit publish baby!

Needless to say, I remain absolutely livid.

Blogging is a dead medium: I get it. Nobody is reading these things. We take our content in punchy 30 second videos. Or Substacks. Or… pamphleting at flash mobs (?)

Why even try?

Why

Even

Try

?

I guess the old Internet infrastructure still runs somewhat on recent blog activity, so companies ‘blog’ to try to push their websites up the rankings (for whatever amount that counts since The Algorithm is purely bought and sold these days).

Come on though. I don’t want to be a bummer here, but the world is on fire quite a lot. Do you really need to burn resources to regurgitate mindless information to post in a dead space amongst the bones of countless creatives?

In summary: according to my logic, I should not start a blog, due to aforementioned resource catastrophe and complete lack of readership.

So hi, hello. I’m Kate.

I’m old enough to remember Good Internet.

I’m a contrarian.

Welcome to my blog.
