Anybody else on WordPress?

Hello everyone. Hope everything is alright. I run a monetised website on WordPress and even though the number of views/impressions is the same, it hasn't gone down, the number of ADs being shown/served to my readers has gone down to nearly zero. I...

This is what WordPress had to say

I run a few websites/blogs on WordPress, one of which is monetised. The number of impressions/views/however you wanna call it is stable, roughly the same, but the number of ads being showed to viewers (or served to viewers, as WP put it) has gone do...

Yesterday I wrote two articles that probably came across as a bit strange or unusual. I was venting a bit. Something happened yesterday that shook me, and I've been using writing as an outlet, as an emotional support tool, since, well, since ever, s...

I'm gonna unlock this memory for you. About two years ago, IRL went bust. It was a social media startup which, at some point, raised hundreds of millions of dollars. By 2021, it had reached a valuation of $1.17 billion, which means it was a unicor...

We’re all looking for something to do

I briefly dated somebody I immediately fell in for - like a teenage crush - after watching a YouTube video in which said person, let’s call this person Singer Turned Bodybuilder, covered one of my favourite songs. Yes, I’m one of those people. I wat...

Air India employees were filmed partying in the office, just a few weeks after the Air India crash that killed around 270 people. The video went viral, people were outraged, and some of the staffers got fired. Everyone has different opinions. Some...
