Un-Twitterize Articles

What I think of article-writers these days.

Hello, my name is Dan, and for the past few years I have seen a enormous quality decrease in internet-articles, as well as news-paper articles.  In simple words : I’m tired of the fact that writers write two articles per hour about how much they like tofu. It seems people look upon writing more as a  quite profitable job and not as a passion they have, the fact that you do or don’t like tofu  and your arguments to why you do and why you don’t are uninteresting to 80% of the world’s population. It seems funny, clever or informative articles are almost non-existent these days, instead, we get a lot of blogs from SXEPHIL about one of his fans getting a tattoo.

Of course, maybe SXEPHIL is awesome, but a fan of his getting a tattoo isn’t exactly blogging news, that’s something you put on Twitter.  And this is how I got to the cause of all this decrease of quality, Twitter, Twitter encourages people to write if their food was hot at the down-the-corner restaurant. But, you see, nobody goes to Twitter to be informed or get clever, funny or witty information, they go to Twitter to see  if Nigahiga bought new underpants. And, you see, since article-writers saw Twitters audience, they decided that why couldn’t they write about their underpants, but more in-depth then the 120 character limit Twitter has.

Ok, I got rid of 50% of articles that annoy me.

Now, moving on, reviews. Yes, reviews, everybody these days wants to be a reviewer and review Halo 3 in order to get 100$/per hour. And thus we see Google filled with billions of reviews of Halo, most of them written by Halo Fanboys or Halo Haters. ( This applies to most games, Halo being an example)

I ask you, where are the intelligent articles? The articles that make you think about something, encourage you to be more open minded and reflect upon stuff in a different way, or the  funny articles, the articles that make you laugh with real and clever humor, not the ,,FUCK MY ASS HURTS” humor we see nowadays, where are these articles? Yes, they do exist, but their number is decreasing over the years.

What ever happened to proof-reading? Did they decide that isn’t necessary anymore, or is typing ,,gtfo fag” a much more powerful expression then a well formed sentence?  But I’m not even talking about abbreviations, I’m talking about typing ,, theyr clothes were so  pretty”

People that write articles these days want to earn money, fast. They produce 50 reviews per day , thus flooding and, therefore, ruining the once pleasurable experience to read blogs or articles on well-known, quality websites.
