Some Popular Bloggers

This is also how it is when we decided to enter the blogging world. Most often, we always read tributes that are given to excellent bloggers, or comments that praise the magnificence or uniqueness of a writer, or mentions that detail the craftmanship of a web blog or a web site. These writers surely had reaped what their determination had earned them. They are so popular so to speak. But only a few, as I have observed as to this time, remained humble and magnanimous in their victory.

These are some observations about SOME popular bloggers:

1. They wanted fame. (who doesn’t?) But the eagerness to acquire fame become so evident that they wanted many people to visit their sites but they do not intend to return the visit as acknowledgment, no replies or even a single comment. Though a blogger could always choose not to come back if the site did not pass their taste, it is a waste of time to bother.
2. They cannot afford to receive criticisms. Some of them have this mentality that they are the best, and no one can beat them. Observe how they are threatened with negative remarks.
3. They seek only influential bloggers. If you are not a significant blogger, why would they care? You may be bright, eloquent or magnificent but if they cannot gain something from you one way or another then you are not a candidate link.
4. They form bandwagons. If you do not go along, you do not belong.
5. They glorify themselves with the idea that they are being imitated, plagiarized or robbed of concepts. There are plagiarists, alright, but this is such a delicate matter that you cannot just throw such accusation outright. They are not the only ones who can think of that particular concept.
6. They are arrogant. A humble person even in front of an adversary or a detractor will be polite and discreet. This should also be true with bloggers. Arrogance could reduce to rubble a fellow blogger’s regard to a popular blogger.
7. They also steal ideas. Just observe. To maintain their popularity, they have to be consistent; they need to have clever ideas to maintain consistency. But there are also times when their minds become inactive (or their brains are not functioning well? ahihihi) and they could not think of anything bright. Your idea could be stolen and since the blog is popular, it continues to gain popularity though the idea came from you. The pilferage is not obvious because of the add-on words.

Popularity is not forever. But the question is how did you maintain that popularity during your time without sacrificing your values, beliefs and individuality? If you are an upcoming popular blogger, would you choose to be popular at the expense of others, or at all times be magnanimous in your victories?

These observations were not borne out of bitterness but out of the honest assessment on SOME popular bloggers.
