Opus 2026-126: When Will I Go Viral?

That’s easy to answer.  Never.

There are many reasons for that starting with the fact that it may very well be that nothing I ever write is good enough to go viral.  That is a minor reason because I have read and listen to some of the things that do spread across the internet and I’m generally not impressed with much of it.  But you can’t ignore that that’s one of the problems.

I am also too lazy to achieve such notoriety.  Most of the people who started out blogging and wanted to make a splash moved on to other platforms when Blogger started declining in popularity.  It takes work to get well known.  That involves learning new technologies and switching to what is popular.  Not only am I not interested in seeing pictures of people’s lunch, I don’t want to learn how to tweet or whatever it is called now.

I also am too straightforward.  I remember when I was first starting out that one blogger was working overtime to get his numbers up.  You would find him in the comment section of almost every blog with a comment and an invitation to follow him.  It worked for him at first but I don’t know if he ever offered any content.  There is a certain salesman personality that gets out and makes the sale.  More power to them.

Fame and fortune are on the same path and I never seem to be interested in following it.  If that is your plan then good luck.
