Why do bloggers do these?

Good evening readers or should I say hivers, recently most articles have been reading is about the hive, first I thought read.cash has been sold to hive blockchain, hope you are all good, well today we shall be talking about how bloggers twist words to gain more engagement on their sites.

They are many popular blogs in my country, but I will just be talking about a few of them cause I can't start writing about all of them, though they are doing the same thing to gain traffic for their site, I wanted to write on this topic some days back, but the motivation wasn't complete so I just kept it in the daft that is in my head, not until yesterday Saturday when the same the thing happened when a blog twist the words that some said, let me drop the full gist.

It all started when a random Twitter user called out a rising artiste (Ruger) that his colleague (Bnxn Buju) is a better music artist than him, which he replied that he love his colleague but his colleague is not a better artist than him because all his hit songs are solo and his colleague is mostly found on collaboration, then another of the colleague (Omah lay) made a state which the blogger twisted.

This was the tweet he posted, but another blogger had to help him break the tweet down for people to understand it very well.

When I saw it, I began to laugh, like why are bloggers like this? When did he mention the age of both his colleagues? Well, I would have commented on the tweet, but we all know that this particular blog is not a normal person like the person likes to escalate little matters to big issues, that's why they got the name, haha.

Over the years, bloggers have escalated a lot of little issues into huge ones because they need traffic for their sites, some months back, a popular blog (Linda Ikeja) and some group of ladies were discussing a live show and one of the ladies started talking about how Linda Ikeja ruin her marriage with her blog, according to her, she wrote a wrong birth certificate for her in her blog and when she tries to reach out to her that what she was is wrong and she has proved, this blogger didn't respond because the article was giving her a lot of traffic, the husband of the lady saw it and that was how it all happen.

These are some of the things I considered and I decided that I can't be a blogger, because most bloggers do d!rty for traffic, they don't care who gets hurt on the way or not as long as it's giving them traffic, they are cool with it, even if some of them later realize that what they posted was wrong, they won't bother to delete it and apologize to the affected party, rather they will keep it there for more people to see.

There was a case of child s3x some time back, this same blogger posted the tape on her blog, the parents of the children tried reaching out to her and they begged her to delete it because it was child p0rn, but she didn't delete it because a lot of people was going to her site to watch the video, that was how Twitter users began to report her account which got blocked by Twitter and she lost millions of followers in that she ones had on Twitter all because she didn't take down the video of child s3x in her blog.

What bloggers can not do for traffic, does not exist, they can go the extra mile just to be the first to publish the story, well, according to some, you either go hard or go home, when one decided to focus more, he or she should keep the emotion aside and put on business mindset so they won't fall off because of too much emotion.

Tomorrow is over Sunday, let me be the first to say a happy Sunday to you and I hope it changes things for the better for you and you sha excel in your doings, I mean the good doings that don't involve you hurting other people, haha, let's try our best to be good to others because everyone has what they are going through, life is not easy for anyone, it's just less hard for some. One love🖤
