Why Blog?

Why would a person ever do something like blogging? Why would anyone ever use social media? By uploading personal media to the internet for all to see they are asking (without asking) any to spectate.

There is no simple formula to explain what content people might see daily, or the scope of what they might stumble onto. You could guess the things that a particular demographic might want to read about, or what kind of media suits their interest, or even keywords they might search for in a typical day. Asking these types of questions may give you some ideas about what your hypothetical demographic looks like, but it doesn't give any explicit "yes, you should blog", or "no, there is no reason to blog."

Here's my reason to arrive at a "yes, you should blog" answer. Allowing content to be

produced, exposed, criticized, admired, or any other resulting idea, provides not only a confidence in and of the creator, but a framework for the future. Blogging, artistry, craft, or production are all good examples of fed content. What I mean by this is that they are derivative of a mass of experiences to provide a result. Through abstraction you could generalize this to say that everything within the known universe is, in some way, a result of a previous event.

From the audience's side, what can bloggers offer you? Blogging, and really any content for that matter, serves as a medium for thought, and often subsequently drives discussion and conclusion. Between the reader and the audience, as well as a more broad audience which can involve many levels and sub-levels of any given demographic. Through discussion, concepts and conclusions are made.
