I've never liked Blazersedge or Goliver's writing, ideas or hoop knowledge. I never got why that site was so popular.
Because they take everyone else's writing and pawn if off as their own. It is a major source of their content. If you took away the content provided by others, that site would not have nearly as many "clicks."
Seems like 'herd mentality'. I don't get it either...it is basically a lot of links to other people's work with a line or two of opinion thrown in. In Dave's case, I love that he wears his Blazer heart on his sleeve but there are times he has been not even near the ball park because of the aforementioned lack of basketball knowledge or experience. No problem, I appreciate his fandom but have also seen posts/posters shot down or completely ignored when they make a perfectly legitimate point that just doesn't happen to agree with the group-think. It's like if someone else came up with the idea, point or story it doesn't count because it's not one of the 'herd'. Granted, every forum or site seems to decline a bit as the masses enter and the average quality goes down. It's nice to see posters like BF here raise great topics like this one.
I write for a living. My business is creating content and I do it for some very big name-brand clients. The cardinal sin is putting your name on plagiarized material.
