@otigainspires:
You are right Deco Slim, the internet has been ravaged by some so called "bloggers" whose only interest is making the money and not thinking of adding value to the readers. what more do you expect? opening one is easy and free....
But it has also heped in putting business online, it has also been abused.

ghettodreamz: Stop contradicting yourself, if you edit your thread's title, then that would be better.

koolkamzzy: You can't blame them cos the economic situation is not encouraging. If you have ever been jobless and without a source of income for a long time and somebody tells you how much dey make from blogging, you won't think twice before hoping to d computer to start one and if you don't have the required skill, then you got no choice than to engage in content copying. Well they obviously won't make money by copying other peoples work cos google don wise up now ... Lol.

slimderek: Since when did Nairaland turn to a blog?

koolkamzzy: Why would people crack their brains and waste precious time to put up content online for others to read if not to make money from it? How do u pay for your internet bundle and some other expenses if you don't make money from your blog? Not in support of content copying but if you can earn a living from blogging, its better than roaming the street in search of Jobs.

Sisi_Kill: Why has blogging become a tool for making money. . .As opposed what...a tool for stealing? Okay I don't get the question.

Here's better question....why can't people mind their own effing business? Are the owners of the abandoned blogs complaining? Are the people complaining of abandoned spaces? When did the motivation for why people do something that doesn't affect or harm anybody become something to be alarmed about?

Lord save us from Nigerians and their myopic mentality. Other countries encourage people to turn their hobbies into incoming generating tools, we sit on our moral High to know Chair and condemn ingenuity.

As an entrepreneur, Why has blogging become so dominant in the internet today? Most Blogs created are just for the aim of making money. Why would everyone just decides to blog if there is not a reason behind it. The rate at which people make use of blog to chase money is alarming.

Has money become the primary reason to own a blog? Have we forgotten the true intend use of blogs as an entrepreneur.

Many blogs are being created these days just to be making money from AdSense. Blogging and AdSense has become a topic everyone talks about in the World Wide Web. Don’t you think this is disturbing? Impacting knowledge through the use of blog has become a thing of the past.

The internet is filled with so much copycat bloggers. Everybody is busy copying others blog contents just in the name of placing AdSense ads on their blog and getting them clicked, as AdSense centers around contents. (Am glad AdSense is now getting wiser, as they have a strong policy consigning contents duplication.)

No wonder so many blogs out there gets abandoned just because such blogs are not making any money.

Let’s stop this act of thinking blogging is only a tool for making money. I definitely know it’s good to make money from a blog. But what value are we adding, since we call ourselves entrepreneurs.

Are we losing our ideas on the true intended use of blog? Did we lose trace of track somewhere along the road?

What's your take?
