Is blogging more about making cash with ads then personal expression?

Post by froggyboy604 »

Yes I sometimes see blogs which write articles which want to attract high paying advertisers like BMW, Cadilac, Jaguar, etc. A lot of car blogs I visit sometimes usually write posts about high end cars like BMW X5 instead of cars most of us can afford like Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, etc.

It also seems it is the same for Electronics blog. Most of the articles are about Apple, Sony, Microsoft, and a few other more expensive brands, and they rarely talk about reliable generic brands.

It is almost like the blog writers are writing ads instead of blogs for expressing themselves.

I guest you are right. Not many people want to read about their mom's van, or their dad's station wagon.

It is kind of a shame that Jag does not make the XJ220 anymore.
