TTLB Ecosystem is a flight of fancy
I haven’t paid much attention to the TTLB Ecosystem of late because, well, basically I don’t think it works. Instead of going in to a lot of reasons why I don’t think it works, I’ll just give one example.
Today is the first time I’ve checked my status on the TTLB in quite a while and right off the bat I find that almost no one has me linked. Not that that is surprising since I rarely ask anyone to link me, but now not even the old timers who have had me linked forever are showing up. Only seven blogs other than my own have me linked. Whoa there, Nellie!. What happened? I like to think that I get better at what I do as I continue to practice and work at it, not worse.
So I go checking some things. Case in point. My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy still has me linked. MVRWC is still in the Ecosystem, but I do not get credit in the Ecosystem for that link. That, to me, is indicative of a system that does not work.
Not that I am bitchin. I’m not. I’m just sayin. As long as we are not pretending that the ecosystem actually works, tis no problem. As long as it is all for fun, tis no problem.
The funny thing is that there are so many people who spend their every waking moment and probably many non-waking moments trying to figure a way to game a system that doesn’t work and that NZ spends so much time trying to thwart those who might try to game a system that does not work.
Explain it to me another way if you see it different.
