Readership

 

Morning.

The proof, as the adage states, is in the pudding.

Readership here is way down. We'll see how long it takes people to figure out how to get around Blogger's messing with them.


Winter is coming.









In the meantime, have a good weekend.

Ugh. Here we are going from a high of 38 this morning to 5 below tonight... and it stays there through the weekend until Wednesday. I dislike winter intensely. As for readership? Mine is up... and I have no idea why... it won't last.

Just an fyi - I have not had any issues accessing your blog - I use Windows 11, and tried using Edge, Firefox and Chrome

As for your poem...Yes, Less Is More...Love it!

For those who are interested I found another porn site not requiring age verifidation Strictly gay boyfriendtv

Boz Bochner said...

My readership is way down too... I chalked it up to being January... Oddly today bypassed all of it logging on to other sites such as yours with out the first consent checkpoint... I just clicked on... let's see how long that lasts. Have a good weekend.

A cold winters night is a good time for skin to skin contact under the covers. Am surprised the snow did not cause their cocks to shrivel up to keep warm. Naked men look great in any season.

Blogger must be bested by all content creators, don’t give in to censorship by Blogger, stay viable and ignore their obstructions. :)

I don't know why some have issues to enter any Blogger's sites? I can access any of them easily.
Have a nice weekend.
Here in Montreal, not much snow (white shit) on the ground and tomorrow will be just above 0°C.
BUT next week freezing very cold weather for Tuesday and after around -15°C... Nothing unusual up here for us.

Same at Workmen&Rednecks, daily visits have drop by almost 25%. Some would ask "Why do you care, since you do not monetize your blog?"
Well I care for the all the people who are denied by Google the right to visit the blogs of their choosing. Just because Blogger's staff isn't skilled enough to setup one stupid dialog box accordingly to basic standards.
Yesterday I was thinking of opening a new blog on another platform. On second thought, I will stick to the smart comment Uptonking sent me: "Everything is temporary on here. Any bug seems to go away..."

I'd have no problem hibernating in that cabin all winter. As long as I have gin and a man.

Looks like sometime yesterday the secondary signin crap got pulled and is gone. Plus. You didn’t actually have to sign in again.

Adam said...

I suspect the changes in Blogger are reflective of state laws in some USA states that now require identification to prevent minors from accessing adult sites and those with "sensitive content". I'm looking at you, Florida and Texas and more!

That said, I subscribe to a feed of this site through the Feedly app and have no issues seeing the daily content including the always glorious pics!

Gay Dad in Atlanta said...

Thanks for the blog! Other than the age thing, I don't see anything different for me to logon. It's definitely not something that will keep me from logging in. I think that age verification is something we are going to see more of in the future and I'm not 100% sure that's a bad thing for some. It all depends on how you go about it. A teenager is going to find ways around all of this. If I had a teenager, I'd help him get logged in myself lol.

I'm sorry that people are having a difficult time accessing Blogger sites. I'm having no issues and I have no idea what I'm doing differently than others.

My readership usually creeps back up after a while - once Blogger stops fucking with shit.

whkattk said...

If you have an account, it probably won't affect you.

whkattk said...

LOL. Thank you!

whkattk said...

We'll have to check it out. Thanks.

whkattk said...

Ah, see.... Well, as Upton said, it won't last. That's a good thing. Maybe lots of people complained.

whkattk said...

I thought the same thing! "Shrinkage!"

whkattk said...

I'm gonna do my best, Rj!

whkattk said...

-15C??? Eek! I hope you can stay home and remain warm!

whkattk said...

You must be right, Laurent. It seems some are already reporting not having to click a second button for access.
And, yes, it matters that readership is down even without monetizing. It's the folks who want to read and are stopped for no reason other than the tech bros screwing things to stop the access.

whkattk said...

Which I know you'd have in fair quantity.

whkattk said...

Thanks for letting me know. Laurent was right --- it didn't last.

whkattk said...

Yep. TX, FL, AL, LA, MS....
Oh, I forgot about suggesting signing up with a daily feed app!

whkattk said...

Yeah, age verification doesn't bug me either...but when they bury a second button that's hard to find.... But agree there's going to be more of this kind of shit starting Monday afternoon.
And if I had offspring, I'd be doing that same thing.

whkattk said...

Glad you haven't been affected. It could be as Adam said (above), it's probably being wielded only in certain states.
