Boring bloggers spamming up the world

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

I'm so fed up with the vast quantity of naval gazers who spam their tedious blogs all over the place. They appear here on Mumsnet, in the comments on various discussion boards, on unrelated Facebook groups and pages and local newsletters. There seems to be no escape from them.

Is it just me who's fed up with seeing these things? Posting your boring blog on your own Facebook is fair enough because I can hide that and your self-absorbed musings but spamming it all over the place? Just fuck off. And when asked to take it down do it with good grace, not some pathetic rant about how it's artistic expression or a valuable public service.

There are some fantastic bloggers out there but I never, ever see them spamming up some unrelated thread or conversation. Which is as it should be.

AIBU? Of course I'm not!

I love them. The more the merrier. The more drivel the internet creaks with, the more fun it will be watching the security services burts at the seams, as they have to trawl through millions of comments on cat pictures to get to the real McCoy.

I occasionally wonder if some blogs are actually computer generated anyway. Certainly I recall the output of an expert system I messed around with in the 1980s as making more sense than some of todays efforts.

Owls, FFS !.

What really irritates me are the YouTube people who vlog. Some of them are fine, but others are just so pathetic and inane.

You click on their vid because you want to hear about other people's experiences, but then they just waffle on and on about utter shite before getting down to the subject. If you're lucky, they may have something to say, but otherwise you've just wasted your time.

All you want are for people to be concise and speak properly.

I don't even notice them. I'm not into blogs or vlogs or things like that. I suppose the way I see it if you're sat about blogging about it you're not actually doing it. What annoys me is when the kids get sucked into it by being asked to do them

Or worse, when their parents blog/vlog about every personal thing regarding their kid's lives.

It makes me cringe to think of the electronic footprints some kids will have before they're even old enough to use the internet.

Some 'daily vlogger' families are ridiculous. That family who did the 'dad reveals pregnancy to mom', followed two days later by the miscarriage (which everyone now suspects was faked), and then they got kicked out of a convention for being violent and the dad was on Ashley Madison... those poor kids have that on the internet for all to see for the rest of their lives :(

My rule is no naked baby pictures (obviously) and we use a nickname for DD.

Hobby kids tv.
Those poor kids, yes they have some fantastic opportunities, but I can imagine the work behind it all
'Hang on open that box again with the name at the front'
'Wait, don't play with it yet'
'Go down that slide again and pull this face'

Their entire life must be directed

I blog.

I'm going to spam all your threads now with links. And PM you individually

but seriously, yes, spamming other people's worlds with your blog is not on.

Unless I've unwittingly set my Facebook security settings sky-high, I've honestly not come across them, with one exception which was some 'unmumsy mum' blog my SIL pm'd me. Odd.

I blog. However, I do agree that spamming with your blog is definitely a faux pas.

I must admit, I'm not enormously keen on blogs that feature a lot of details about the author's kids - I wonder whether blogs that go into lots of detail about potty training etc are other an invasion of a child's privacy, particularly if they are named.
