I have been criticized for two things in the past:
1. Not specializing my blog content
2. Not monitizing by allowing companies to place ads
The monetized web presence is a relatively new phenomenon in society's pursuit of personal gain in the new world order of the few having the most and the most having the least.
All-in-all I attribute my lack of a monetized web presence to be part and parcel of that "sell out" which is some social media account where every other piece of content is an ad and clickbait is threaded all through the entirety.
Suffice it to say that I am satisfied to pursue my personal reasons for web presence. These do not include any search engine nor social media outlet. I am there for two simple reasons which are satisified frequently since the incept of it all way back when.
When such time comes that I feel my personal reasons for web presence are no longer relevant to me or that reality I may recognize I will step away and let you all have the web to yourselves.
I've never been one of these 'follow the herd' types out to be like everyone else in their midst. It's simply a situation I'd find insufferable. Call me weird if you like.
