it really doesn't take a genius or an intelligent person to start a self-degrading blog to gather traffic online. i know of a few people who visit xx's blog to feel good about themselves, what with her onslaught of highly photoshopped pictures and what passes for good company for her (read: lady iron chef the cheapskate who was defended by her few months back). i really don't mind giving her a couple cents just to read her blog, have a laugh, and feel good about myself. it's a service and i am paying for it with my clicks. it reminds me that there are much worse off people in life who will stoop to irrevocably and irreversibly pathetic levels just to earn some money easily. it is a sobering process and i do not mind at all paying her with some clicks. in fact, it is so cheap for me. which is exactly what xx is. cheap.
you might argue that most of the people there are in support of her. well then, good for them. they found something they can be happy about, and nowadays, it is quite expensive to find something to be truly happy with. and a few clicks is all that you need to give away if you like xx, which is again, so dirt cheap. which is what she is.
don't fall under the misconception that she is the only person getting all the goodies with her traffic. visitors also get a kick out of reading her lame entries to destress and have a laugh at the expense of her image, dignity and pride, which she is losing on a daily basis. it's a 2way traffic. on a totally related note, i felt so bad for her when she was starring next to ros on that reality tv show with the 2 girls. she looked lesser in almost every respect and still had to put up a front of showmanship.
