10 Ways To Show Your Readers You Hate Them

in #blogging5 years ago

Some of your readers might think so. If you are making any of these mistakes you could be sending a message to your readers that you don’t care about them. If you do hate your readers then make sure you are doing all 10 things on this list, you don’t want them to get the wrong idea.

10 Ways To Show Your Readers You Hate Them

Promises you don’t keep → I know life happens and sometimes you just have to take a break from blogging, but if you break your regular posting schedule and run off to join the circus chances are when you come back you might have no one to come back too. Readers can forgive, however if you make to many promises that you do not deliver on you might find your blog alone and depressed just like you.
What are you, stupid?

Talking down to them → Think your readers are stupid? Nothing says you think your readers are stupid more than talking down to them. Even stupid people don’t like to be talked down to. If you could care less about your site traffic try talking to your readers like they are idiots, then those idiots will show you who the real idiot is.
Ignoring their comments → Hey look you have a comment. Screw that you don’t have time to respond to comments, your a big shot blogger. Keep that attitude and you won’t have to worry about those annoying comments any longer. Can you hear the crickets chirping?

Giving them partial feeds → You just got a new reader to your blog. The new reader has subscribed to your feed and is waiting with baited breath to get the first installment of your feed. They wake up and rush to their feed reader and staring back at them is your middle finger.
If you are only posting partial feeds so that feed subscribers have to click on a link and come to your blog to read the whole post, then why bother having a feed in the first place? Cancel your Feedburner account and post a message on the top of your blog that says,

“I hate feed subscribers! Feed subscribers should visit the blog if they want to read the entire post instead of expecting special treatment.”

I’m sure they will understand and probably thank you for sharing your opinions. Just don’t hold your breath.

Microsoft The Blue Monster!

Designing for only one browser → You like Firefox, you’re not gonna waste your precious time making sure your blog design works correctly in Internet Explorer. IE is from that fascist corporation Microsoft. If people want to support evil multinational corporations like Microsoft then they shouldn’t come crying to you that your blog doesn’t look right in IE. Can’t they read the button at the top of your site that says, “This site best viewed with Firefox”? No they probably can’t read, who wants them anyway. FASCISTS!

Refusing to link → Your readers are mainly newbies, there is no way you are going to lower yourself to their level and link to a blog with a Page Rank lower than yours. And that guy that wrote that article that you just wrote about is wrong, there is no way you are gonna send any traffic his way. You can call him names and tell everyone that he is wrong and none of your readers should expect you to link to his post so they can judge for themselves. You tell your readers what they should think. How dare they think for themselves!
Treating them like only customers → You gotta make your money. You are not blogging because you are passionate about your topic. No you blog only to make $$$s. You don’t have readers they are all customers. If they don’t buy from your affiliates and click on your ads then WHO NEEDS THEM? Your not building a community and sharing products you recommend, you are collecting credit card numbers and email addresses. Now if one of those customers will just buy something.

Making yourself unavailable → You check your email inbox and what do you know some pain in the butt reader sent you an email. You should pretend you didn’t get the message. Why are these people bothering you asking questions anyway? Don’t they know how to use Google? You should just tell them you are really busy and won’t be able to answer all of their questions. You don’t intend to answers any of their questions anyway, but they won’t know because they are stupid.
Let's talk about ME!

One sided conversations → You read somewhere that readers like useful content that gives them a benefit. What can be more beneficial than telling them what you had for lunch. You are the god of blogging, if they are not utterly fascinated with everything you do then something is wrong with them. Besides writing useful posts is too much work. You could post a review of some other blog, but your readers don’t want to read that, they just come to read about you. Is your Site Meter broken?

Never leaving your house → You could surf around the internet and read what other people are writing, but why? Your blog is the best blog and Alexa better damn well figure it out soon. Why should you leave your blog? Your picture is up there at the top and you are a sexy bitch. If you leave your house (blog) then you might be exposed to those other people’s ideas. Hell you could stay here all day and reread all of your posts because you are just so witty. Besides your mom will be home soon with your HOT POCKETS®. She better get the pizza ones this time. You could open the basement window and get some fresh air. Naw, you haven’t taken a shower for a week and you smell fantastic!
