Why did I join Blaugfest to encourage myself to write more? I’m not sure.
Sometimes I think it’s become of some subconscious hope it in the hopes that my post would go viral, but why? I assume it’s some built in social drive to be “popular” because that was once important for survival.
But I’ve seen many examples of being popular on the internet is not a good thing. I would like to specifically thank Marcus Hutchins aka. Malwaretech for regularly sharing examples of the downsides.
Which means even if I on some level want it, I don’t on another level. Ugh, internal conflicts are the second worst kind of conflicts.
This definitely something I will need to explore during the month. And luckily, or unluckily if you were here for the previous somewhat serious tech blogging, I will need to write more on this.
I’ll just end with a old screenshot from something Marcus posted a long time ago, with a good example of how having a “hit post” will not be roses and sunshine.
