A blog site is a host of personal opinion. It’s an online diary. Some of it is interesting and useful, most of it is not, none of it is journalism or news.

If a journalist is sharing space with blogs, we aren’t going to allow any of it, because we aren’t going through every fucking author going “is this one valid? What about this guy talking about how their dog just took a dump? How about this guy convinced robots are stealing his luggage?”

Same reason we don’t allow bullshit social media like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc.

There’s too much content to say what’s valid for the community and what’s not.

Does the New York Times have a Twitter account? Sure. Do we allow it? No, because fuck you Twitter. Does the Washington Post have a Facebook account? Sure. Do we allow it? No, because fucking Facebook.

The same goes for Substack, Blogger, Blogsite, etc. We don’t care who is doing the writing. It’s not a valid source.
