topics:
blogs all look the same; they are prefab houses with hoa-approved lawns.
big sites area each little developments… facebook, twitter, they’re all different neighborhoods built by the same area developers. each house is the same.
now we’re largely working off the same wordpress themes to make everything as marketable as possible. our blogs aren’t our stories or thoughts or ideas, they’re an seo-optimized version of ourselves.
even personal sites that exist in a different neighborhood – one with historic housing or architecture unique to our areas – but we still often strip these homes of everything that gives them character. millennial gray.
