I don’t have a comment on the article. But if I was the author, it would be pretty rough reading the comments here.

I guess it’s worth remembering that for every blog post out there that perhaps we don’t like, there are a million that are never written in the first place for fear of being exposed to criticism.

So maybe there is virtue in just having the courage to put yourself out there and invite the world to cast their judgement on you, if nothing else!

The author was right and brave to put himself out there and express what he wants. (Even if the intention behind the post might have been to create vapid SEO content for the sake of furthering his Brand and to grow his Clout.) But others are right to criticize the blog post for its failings, as per their opinions. Everyone is just doing the best they can.
> Everyone is just doing the best they can.

I can get behind that :)

I don’t disagree with some of the comments here, but they fall into the “doesn’t need to be said” bucket for me.

Yeah, I can’t say I’ve done as much as this guy, but the quote is helpful in framing small actions when building toward habits.

Poor guy…I’m voting to take a nap and not join in on the dog pile.
