William Gibson is a perfect example and the first to come to mind. He is coined to be the father of the cyberpunk genre. In other words, he wrote something and apparently a lot of people loved it and still do.

You are correct about the easy entertainment, and from what I can see it seems that blogging is still an infant in the Nordic countries. It is kind of ironic that in USA, conservative as it may be, has accepted blogging as a media you can trust. It might also be because some of the bloggers from USA do sometimes have a huge impact on the society.

Of course, as you say, we will still be the ones providing quality content for everyone. ;)

Beeing 14 years old and writing about what hundres of other 14 year old kids love is a smart move.

Just like you I would like to earn some money on my blog. But I have to admit at most of my audience is just like me. They spend hours to find a way on how to get stuff and information without paying anything. So why should they use money on ads or give me gifts that I can write about?

The big group of people often likes “Lettbeint underholdning” easy or even brainless entertainment than reading a book. So when a 14 year old kid writes and post pictures that is categorised as easy entertainment, they get more readers.

Still, I belive that quality content will give more visitors over a long time. They will only write about teenages for a few years. While we can continue give quality content the rest of our lives :)
