This is my first post. Yes, I really did just use the sample post in a basic WordPress installation! Why? Because I figured I’d say hello while I fill this site with useless shit I’ve looked up for one reason or another. It’s the neurodivergent know it all ‘tude that keeps me going…
Print on Demand and drop shipping? I’ve done that research. Travel? I actually do that. Best dog food? I have actual opinions and no affiliate links there. How to fix a door? This comes up more than you think. Candle making? Yup. Laser engraver and cutter? Working on that. The list goes on.
I used to get paid good money as a writer, editor, and researcher. Well, writing and editing is mostly just amazing research put on paper or screen anyway. And there is so much crap out there–aggregator sites that regurgitate trash content with no value at all, SEO-heavy listicals to pump up affiliate links so no value at all, and generally rehashed content you can find on any blog with minimal added value. It’s just so incredibly tedious to sort through it all.
I have pet peeves about the internet. I hate when food bloggers chop up all the ingredients before they them into a food processor to, well, chop. I hate fake best of, gift guides, and “expert” recommendation lists that are just lazy affiliate links to subpar Amazon products. I hate when people ask questions and someone replies: Google is your friend. Seriously, we’re all on social media, forums, websites trying to build a community and want the opinion and guidance of that community.
So with that said, I’m gonna start documenting all that shit on here. When I remember, of course. One, so I can find it again. Two, so I can promote some content creators actually adding value to the internet. And Three, so you don’t have to go down the same rabbit hole as me to get a simple answer.
