RE: War Against Selfies in Travel Blogs

Hear Hear!

For months, I have been contemplating writing a post on what I look for in an interesting, enjoyable post, a blog as a whole, and all that, as well as what I like to see before I curate a post and/or someone. Whenever I wanted to sit down to start writing, I didn't pull through. I didn't know what tone I should use, for one. Thoughts are constantly in my mind, my 'rules' aren't strict. Though I do dislike certain things, especially in a community I founded, but in general as well, which includes boring blog channels with posts that are same same same, without variations, not in style, not in the content itself, wrong balance in posts and comments, empty nothing containing comments and more of such.

Your post I really really really love! You took out one topic and started with the exact right words and sentences! It'll serve as a great example of how I shall go about things. Thanks for sharing your curator views, your post, your message. NJOY this week curation and life in general 🎉🥳

ps Selfies = Selfish: Why do people take them anyway?

😮😮😮 Thank you so much for this! While I'm naturally aversive to compliments or validations, I'll take this. I really thought I don't have it anymore because I had a long hiatus. I also have a problem with synthesizing my ideas into one cohesive blog. Lately, I'm trying to get back to my flow in terms of blogging, so I am trying to write as much as I can. I want to start with the topics that really bother me and I'll write about them no matter how polarizing they are. Like this one, I could have used a toned down version and less direct approach, but I should show in the blog the severity of my dislike to selfies.

Glad you're with me on this! I'm also not too strict. One selfie at the end of the blog will do. However, if you make your selfie as a thumbnail, I'll automatically pass on it. 😁

Hopefully your direct approach and clarity will change the blog posts peeps will write and publish.
This morning I thought for the community I founded to start challengers, directing the community to create certain types of posts with certain type of content to get out of the spiral of boredom, same posts, same approach towards more variety.

Wish you a lot of success with the Travel side of things.

Thank you! Hoping you will also be successful in your challenges in your community. I'm sure you can come up with something that will spur the creativity of your members.
