Was a good read and had great points.
I personally if people are going to do ladder blogs, they should be posted no sooner then at least 2 weeks and had plenty of ti,e being written, which you did cover. It's annoying to see a constant supply of them and seeing the posts of a low level player stating to go pro or something can be annoying if posted to often.

I don't agree.
Blogs are more personal than threads in other sections. I can post without proper etiquetes and stuff. If you don't like what you are reading then don't read.
And yes I have a total of 2 blogs with just 1 response and 1 of them got closed for too poor content.
My dick has shrunk to the point where it looks like I have 3 balls.

Yeah well, tl isn't your diary. If you're going to post, make it slightly bearable for the rest of us. If you really have nothing to say, don't hit post.

Spotlighted for the sole reason that I wanted the word "meta-blogging" to appear on the front page. Im expecting Chill to show up and punch me in the face at any moment.

1. threads about how people are going to become masters, or GM, or do "korean style training" are 99% horrible. only exception i have seen is attero. nobody cares but the op, and i have never seen an actual success story. people should spend more time actually playing instead of writing about how they are going to play.

2. stream threads for low level players. nobody is going to watch your games because they dont care to watch bad players. why would i choose joe blow plat/diamond/masters/even low GM when i can watch koreans, high level foreigners, or the fifteen million tournaments that are out there?

3. people ranting about other people's threads (i.e., this post). why do you give a shit? why do i give a shit? why did i just waste my time writing this useless post. =(

Very nice! And the best part of it is that if u would just randomly bash on a bad blog u might get warned, but if you write a one page long rant about how bad those blogs are in general you get spotlighted!

I find it sad whenever some poor silver leaguer makes a ladder blog You're entirely right, bibbit, but nevertheless I just feel bad for the poor guy(s) that write those blogs.

Basically, they're the Blog-equivalent of the pokemon theme song, except nobody likes it, nobody sings along and nobody cares.
memes are a dish best served dank

I'm someone who fully supports putting effort and personality into something for the sake of making it interesting and a cut above mediocrity when it comes to doing ANYTHING creative, let it be art, music, writing, or simply writing ladder blogs. That said, I support this 100%.

When a blog is written in the forest, but nobody around reads it, is there a blog?

Don't hate the meta-player, hate the metagame.

This makes me sad, I hope the ladder blogs continue. What's the cost of clicking a link and scimming through it anyway? like 30 seconds at most? Let the people have their hopes and dreams and aspirations, even if they are poorly thought out and most likely wont be realised.

Just seems like a real dick move to say "you're worthless, what you're doing is worthless, stop doing it." regardless of what the person is actually doing. It's not like they are breaking rules and/or being offensive.

It's just frustrating seeing quality content pushed down by lengthy updates of how some random guy did on the ladder today. If you did this daily on facebook most of your 'friends' would block you from their feed, so why should strangers give a flying fuck? People need to realise they are just one person among many thousands. If they want to share they should at least put some effort into making there blogs readworthy rather than info-dumping.

That's a fair call, I guess I can support telling them to put more time in to making their posts more interesting. I dunno, the OP just seems really harsh in it's criticism.

I forgot your alias and thought that your average ladder blogger was a frog telling people to do a barrel roll.
