Discretions... remarks and more...
Recently wrote @Henkjan de Krijger the blog: What's wrong with our Yoors?
This blog got me thinking about what's happening here and what I think about it.
As I type this blog, all kinds of things haunt through my chaotic head...
The thing I absolutely don't want is for people to feel insulted or personally attacked, but I really need something from the heart.
This writing is certainly not an attack on certain people here on Yoors, but an impetus to take a deep look at yourself.
Like you, I often notice that they don't really respond to your content, because either they don't bother to read your content (sometimes they just respond to the header picture even)or because the translator makes something incomprehensible out of it.
Because of the large numbers you can't keep up with what you really want to read, unless you come check every hour. (Which I don't have time for.)
As for plagiarism, I'm not really concerned with the moderation tool.. I myself am also someone who works a little more thoroughly and 'reads' me in on a topic before I dedicate a blog to it.. I do not write about Dutch cities either, since I am Belgian, just like you, and sometimes annoy me by the blogs that appear in certain pools. If you do not know the term, do not devote a post to it than give your own interpretation to it.. (Hence my article on #longread for example.)
Those followers, I think they are also for a large number of 'blank profiles', because if someone gets to Yoors via your link and makes a login, they will automatically be linked to your account as a follower, while that person may have only read one of your blog. (I sometimes see new members appearing as a follower, who just ended up on one of my blogs via social media and which I do not know at all. So they chose absolutely not consciously to follow me...)
For the rest: you definitely have your own punk style, recognizable through! I see you, like me, are from the same group. (2017)We zagen Yoors veranderen, evolueren, internationaler worden... and as with many things: each advantage has its drawback.
Good, well thought-out blog you wrote...
Judging by the reactions, some people also don't understand how it works. Boosterhunters are there.
It looks a bit like the Chinese shops here in Portugal, a lot, very cheap, but a lot of junk in between and the fun goes off quickly.
I also had a laugh because I don't know what the gouda hashtag means, the only gouda I know is also the cheese haha
You're absolutely right, I know a little English and when it comes to translating it's complicated, however if I wrote in spanish not everyone will understand me. Translators aren't very good as we say.
On a side note: I think wonders of your avatar!
