i have spent a lot of time and dollars reading things and learning about situations and my worldview has developed as a result of that process
if you have not spent a lot of time reading similar things and encountering similar situations, your worldview probably does not look like mine and i understand that this is why my blog will never be popular
@Lady I'm not sure I follow that logic. If so, why is any blog popular? Or is the argument that no producers of popular blogs spent time and dollars etc. etc.? (Or just that yours make your blog uniquely unsuited for consumption by people who did so but with a dissimilar set of things and situations?)
@aschmitz the part i am not saying here is that i am pretty stubborn and unapologetic about situating my writings within my own worldview. i think people who find popular success are better at figuring out the worldview of their audience and reframing their points within that context. that is not a practice i engage much in, which makes my writing less popular and more radical in construction (i think there is a place for both)
@aschmitz (for some people, their worldview is already pretty close to the popular worldview so it comes pretty easily to accommodate it. but others put a lot of time and energy in)
