If you read my blog a handful of days ago, you probably remember the topic about bacon.

Coincidentially, Meekakitty released a new music video today about bacon.

You should watch it.

It’s awesome.

Topic #98: Write a rant about the pointlessness of rants. If you don’t like paradoxical topics, write a rant about why you don’t like paradoxes. If you don’t want to write about that, write about how disappointed you are with my lame choices for topics.

I actually don’t think that all rants are pointless. Rants written by people of power usually do have some effect if a lot of people read it because people with good persuasion skills could alter the thoughts of many people at once just by writing a critical piece. However, seeing as the prompt is about how useless rants are, I’ll focus on the remainder of rants – the rants written by regular people that are generally not read very much.

I agree that it’s important for people to write about their opinions and experiences and share what they have learned so others can learn from it too. However, most people with blogs don’t have very many readers. Is it really worth the time to write an elaborate post when only a handful of people are going to read it? What’s the threshhold for the number of readers required to make a rant worth writing? Do I even have enough readers to make this rant worth writing?
