Let’s get real for a minute. The internet right now is a dumpster fire of hot takes, SEO-optimized listicles, and algorithm-approved rage-bait. Twitter’s a screaming match, LinkedIn’s a humblebrag contest, and TikTok? Don’t even get me started.
So why, in this noisy chaos, would anyone care about your tiny blog? You know, the one you built with a static site generator, hosted on a $5/month server, and filled with posts about your niche obsession with vintage cameras or how to optimize CSS for your coffee machine?
Because the world desperately needs it. Here’s why.
🗑️ The Internet Is Drowning in Trash
Big platforms reward engagement. Viral posts are designed to make you angry, addicted, or both. Your tiny blog? It’s rebellion. No ads. No algorithms. No “10 Ways to Transform Your Life in 5 Minutes" (unless you’re being ironic).
We need more quieter corners on the internet where algorithms don’t reign.
💡 Your Obsession Might be Helpful
You think no one cares about your 5,000-word deep dive into the history of rubber duck debugging? Wrong.
- The person Googling “why is my code broken” at 2 AM needs that duck-filled wisdom.
- The hobbyist restoring a 1960s typewriter craves your step-by-step guide.
- The burnt-out developer scrolling mindlessly wants your post titled “Why I Quit Chasing Tech Trends.”
Will you get famous? Probably not. Will you make money? Unlikely. Will you accidentally help a stranger? Absolutely.
The internet doesn’t need more influencers. It needs ordinary people. Unfiltered, unoptimized, unapologetic blogs.
So go build that tiny blog. The internet will be better for it.
