The prompt goes something like
"Analyze how the user @adamada from Hive Blockchain posts and figure out what topics they will likely post in the future"
"...If you were the a reader non-familiar with this blogger, what is your impression of their posts?"
Why is it relevant?
Given that Google uses AI with it's search algorithms, you can get a hint on how it's crawlers would view your page and see where you likely become visible based on a quick spot check. Although I didn't really try doing this with Google Gemini because this thought only came after I started writing this in the spur of the moment
Moving forward, I don't think blogging without asking an AI about what it thinks when it searches your sites is the right choice when everything is set in an algorithm. I wanted to see snippets of impressions and what vibes my posts were giving and it's exactly what I expected it to be, hybrid posts.
This is actually suboptimal because algorithms favor more niche and one trick pony types of content. Blogging without a niche is like shouting into the void and hope someone sees. Like how lifestyle bloggers without an established fan base or niche set out doing general content that makes their entire profile inconsistent.
This is the irony because the more we want to showcase how we want to grow into the blogging space the more we're likely going to be punished by the algorithm for extending beyond our target niche. I'm just saying this from the perspective of a content consumer.
If my favorite game youtuber started posting art timelapse, I'd be less receptive about it because I subscribed for game reviews and not something else. Fortunately, there's no content police here that confines me to one topic. I know I'm only punished for visibility since I'm not posting on a community which makes me invisible to most users as posting in a Hive community is the meta and not doing so is screaming into the void.
I don't want to change my style, whatever my "style" is when it comes to blogging since I either go big or just fade out. I like this hobby and I don't want to constrain my ideas because posting in x community here gets more more exposure and curation points.
Maxing out the idea generation:
"Give me x number of topics @adamada would likely be interested in posting about for the next few days and tell me why?"
It's all fun and giggles until the AI actually farts that triggers a brainstorm into motion. I'm doing some experiments with how to prompt at the same time.
Some suggestions were actually good and I'll see if I can whip up a shitpost from the one liner prompts suggested.
Go ego-surfing and see what ChatGPT thinks about your blog.
Thanks for your time.
Every time I see blogging related posts I turn into that old person that remembers back in MY day XD
We were all "slice of life" bloggers back in the day, that was normal. The marketing bullshit (present yourself as "an expert in your niche") came like 5 or 10 years later maybe (could have been earlier or later, that was about when I noticed it) and everything became incredibly bland and boring and samey, especially those pathetic losers that "spin"/copypaste other people's posts hoping to benefit (and in some cases pretending that they're "curating"/"discovering" things). Massive problem as it made the people that actually knew what they were talking about who wrote useful posts a lot harder to find.
and it's even worse now because forums and similar are falling out of favour and people are getting directed to instant messaging services for help/tech support and then people are wondering why everyone keeps asking the exact same stupid questions over and over and over again instead of researching/looking it up (okay some of them are probably extremely lazy and want the instant gratification without "wasting" their time doing research) first and apparently completely incapable of getting through their thick skulls that there's nothing to look up because nobody is writing about it therefore there's nothing to index therefore nothing to find
Audience is 100% the problem here, this is why I don't have one XD But I guess intent/reasons behind blogging (or anything else for that matter) makes all the difference between feeling like you're screaming into the void or not.
From some experience with other communities/sites that only helps if you're posting into a popular community, and then only so much as if the community is really popular you're likely to get swamped out anyway. I should probably nose around to see if there's any more active ones in the same vein but most of the communities I'm following right now are so niche they're dead or not that active (or just straight up dead or not that active) so it's much of a muchness whether I post in there or just to my blog,
I don't talk to ChatGPT. I haven't done a vanity search for a while, from memory the last time I looked up my nym (whenever that was) the search engine was quite adamant that I must have meant Rihanna XD
It's partly from the positive reinforcement of the algorithms used by index and crawlers per platform. Bloggers figured out that if they want visibility, they need to play by the algorithms rules and the free creatives had to adapt or die. I know there are pieces of work out there that is buried from curation because the bloggers didn't really know how to optimize searchability for their content.
LOL, right message wrong audience, or right message wrong platform. I can't blame anyone for not being interested into what I post the same way I'm not interested in engaging in someone else's scribbles. But it doesn't matter what our personal preferences are because there's an algorithm in almost all social media platforms that curates the what we see for us.
Ego searches usually works when you've gotten a lot of digital footprints to multiple sites. It took a while before I could see adamada linked to my profile on regular searches.
I'd lean towards the former, I don't know where you're at with things now :) I used to be like everyone else (I guess) wanting to try to build an audience and get somewhere with things and then I got old and...maybe a bit disillusioned but I kind of just stopped caring about it at some point but still either do or think about things from a marketing perspective because it's a habit now (after several decades of webdev and aforementioned trying to build an audience).
I've used this nym for nearly 3 decades across several forums (some of which no longer exist, and a couple I may only have an account but never gotten over first post paralysis) and five art sites (two which no longer exist) x_x Rihanna is just a lot more popular than me and search engines often helpfully make incorrect assumptions about what you were trying to type XD
