The Psyche Of Blog Readers

In the immortal words of Britney Spears "There's only two types of people in the world, the ones that entertain and the ones that observe."

I feel that, despite the general imbecility of Spear's lyrics, there is some truth in that simple phrase. And, obviously, this truth applies on our virtual society just as much as it applies on real life.

So, to break it down for you, in the Stardoll world "the ones that entertain" are the ones who don't just sit on their ass, but do something, anything, to be noticed. Whether it is blogging, designing graphics or desperately famewhoring, these people are the salt and pepper of Stardoll. "The ones that observe", on the other hand, are a whole different story. 

There are three kinds of "observers". The "readers", the people who naively enjoy Stardoll and have yet to discover its subculture, and the "hopeless romantics", the young boys and girls that so desperately want to get recognized, but unlike the "entertainers" either sit on their ass or are just chickens.

But, like the title suggests, my point is... the readers, of course. Strange breed, these people. Most bloggers' main concern is how to make their blog successful. Some (me) choose not to care about such a trivial matter. But, really, what do the readers want?

I suppose they don't want much. Just an interesting blog (preferably with great graphics), minimal writing, and some perks for becoming loyal followers. Why, you, naive friend, will ask. And I shall answer. Because, if a person spends so much time on a virtual world just to escape their boring lives, they simply won't be bothered to bore themselves with something as humdrum as reading. 

Now, don't get me wrong. I, myself, have been through the tl;dr phase. I am going through that phase right now. Yet, I don't care. I write lengthy posts because I feel like it.

So, to conclude, my fellow bloggers, your readers will most likely expect, or even demand, those badly written, poorly spelled posts they love to criticize, as long as there is a fun graphic to keep them happy and an enthralling debate in the comments to keep things interesting. 

And you, my friends, will not give a shit. Like a boss.
