I Think I May Have Pissed Off Ev Williams
The algorithms are showing me no love, none whatsoever.
It is November, usually my favourite time of the year, not least because it is my birthday month (29th day) and one of those few times when the stars generally align in my favour.
But I must say that it’s been a nightmare month.
Why?
Despite having published more prolifically than I ever have at this stage of the month, my numbers are beyond diabolical.
The views are non-existent, curation has been unusually poor(4 in 25 articles) and in the earnings department, I am practically scraping the barrel.
While I am fully aware of my average writing abilities, I have never been reticent about speaking my mind on a number subjects and I think have done so with a degree of credibility. And writing here has been previously kind to me.
Just as I have been pondering on my poor performance over the course of the last three weeks, the reason for ‘nightmare November’ hit me: my slightly critical response to Ev Williams post on the acquisition of Projector.
Or could it be the slightly cheeky response to his other post that sealed my fate?
