The volume of spam reporting that I am doing now on a daily basis leaves little time for making content. 400 sites alone today, and it's only 7 am. I am beginning to think this webmastering thing may not be worthwhile.
Since I started complaining it has gotten much worse. At first,it was a site a week, maybe two. I didn't much notice the spammy sites too much then. Slowly, it started geting worse. It seemed the more sites I launched for my publishing business, into different niche areas, the more spammy sites I'd discover. Once I realized how damaging they were to the user experience on the internet, I made it my duty to report them. With every site I launched, I'd find 10 spammy sites clogging up the serps. I did notice my content started to suffer. How can we make good content with so litle time left over? It's bad for everyone.
I admit I complain alot on the forums, too, but that it because I have to raise awareness. Otherwise, I would be trying to carry the burden all by myself. That would not be good for anyone, because I would fail and the spammy site makers would win.
This morning I noticed the newest real estate site I made before breakfast was almost nothing but RSS feeds, that is how bad it is. Just barely enough content to make it worthwhile! Damn spammers, keeping me from doing a better job. At least I was able to mix the feeds up so it doesn't look too bad. I hope to get back to it later and make it better, if Adsense proves it will be worthwhile. Anyway the adsense revenues have gotten so poor these days we need ten times the traffic we used to need just to earn the ame revenue! I used to have 5 good sites, now I have 497 and am not making too much more then before. I hope Google fixes this spammy site problem soon. Damn spammers are ruining it for all of us.
One should be able to submit 4-5 sites per minute...

It's not the "webmastering thing" that isn't worthwhile, it's the "spam reporting thing." Stop wasting your time reporting spam, and spend your time webmastering instead... it will be more enjoyable, more profitable, and miles more productive.
Ummm... so you made a spammy site? RSS feeds alone? And you're complaining about spammers? I have to assume your posting is meant satirically. 497 sites? Obviously you aren't generating content that is unique, valuable or interesting, you're generating template driven spam sites. This is a joke, right?
Frankly, I didn't even read the last half of the first post... I've gotten so accustomed to the whining. hehehe
Touche!
I've gotten so accustomed to the whining
That's what prompted me, too. I had a choice of "btch about the whining" or go to foo and let loose some steam.
Rather than whine about whining, well...I'm glad some enjoyed it.
