Once upon a time there was a boy named Trevor.
Trevor had a blog.
He updated it every few weeks because he wanted to build his readership base.
Trevor was so excited because he had so many blog views! The blog he used showed the statistics of who read his blogs, what websites they were from, what parts of the world they were from. It was so cool!
So for months Trevor was so excited about his blog. But then one day Trevor decided to look into the websites that gave him the most hits on his website.
They were websites like "Fat Loss Factor by Dr. Charles Livingston," and "Filmhill.com," and "VampireStat."
Trevor realized the majority of his traffic was spam. It hurt him in his heart. He knew that anybody involved in doing things like that are evil at heart, and they will probably go to hell. Trevor imagined Dr. Charles Livingston burning in hell. Still, Trevor felt bad.
So Trevor didn't update his blog for over a month. Every time he thought about it, he had no oomph. He had no excitement.
But then Trevor remembered that there are some people still visiting his blog. Real people, who enjoyed his stories, and not just a bunch of people who went to school for Marketing & PR who now sit in an office exploiting people's websites in order to get their penis enlargement and exercise websites more hits. And then Trevor thought, I'd better update my blog.
So he made a blog post about a boy with a slightly different name than him, and clued his readers into the fact that it was supposed to be about him by naming the blog post a title indicating that the post isn't about him, but in an ironic way, so that smart people would understand that it is.
And then he wrote the post about a boy who experienced this sadness with advertisers. And he felt happy and at the end of the story finished by expressing that the fictional character he made up is so happy that there are some people who read his blog, and that he hopes they continue to read it, because he likes them.
