I've been curating some of the last few personal blogs in one place for a couple years now (http://boredreading.com).
It always makes me happy to see more people bring back blogging. I hate that everything is on platforms like substack, and would much rather see a million wordpress or ghost installs.
Wow, I really wanted to like this site. The domain name is perfect. But it's a sad example of what's wrong with the web.
The top 25% is the nav bar, ok, maybe that's reasonable? the next 25% is a "new here", please join upsell. The next 20% is another upsell, please give me your email so I can spam you. The bottom 35% is tags, and the bottom 25% is finally links... but they're mostly covered by another upsell. Holy shit!
And to top it all off, even with uBo enable there's a full sceen popup/modal add dimming the whole page, begging me to let them help me with my overwhelming debt.
WTF is wrong with people who do this stuff?!
