#DIGITAL VOLCANO DUPLICATE CLEANER PRO REVIEW 2016 HOW TO#
The problem we should be looking at isn’t the volume of content or its quality the problem is how to sort through the dross and find the good stuff. I think Chuck Wendig’s original argument is flawed. All that excess and possibly bad content isn’t a problem for me, much less one deserving of the title of shit volcano.Īnd if we don’t call that other user-generated content a shit volcano then is it really correct to apply the term to self-published ebooks?

In fact, I hadn’t even thought of the unwanted content on Youtube, et al until Mackay left that comment, that’s how well I have ignored it. I wouldn’t say so all that content is merely the dross which I ignore while searching for the good stuff. What about the many podcasts in iTunes, or the excessive number of duplicate apps in iTunes, Google Play, and elsewhere? Surely those are shit volcanoes which need to be cleaned up, right? This is true, and the same generalized comment could be made about every platform that is built on user-generated content, including Tumblr, Facebook, WordPress, Flickr, etc.Īnd now that we have a new perspective on the problem, I have a question for you: Would you describe the many, many Youtube channels with poor quality video as a shit volcano? Would you say that about the many badly written blogs? It costs almost nothing to allow people to post this stuff, and the benefits to the companies that allow it are enormous for the small portion of stuff that turns out to be valuable. (Same arguments about photo sharing sites, as I recall.) Google can’t possibly continue to allow people to post any video on line, they’ll have to start limiting it. How can Blogger continue to allow anyone to create a site for free? They will have to start charging. We heard the exact same arguments about blogging and You Tube. As Mackay Bell pointed out in the comments, this is the new normal: Mike is usually right about these kind of things, which is why I posted that article last night.īut in this case it’s much more likely that he is wrong. That last link leads to one of Mike Cane’s post which was published yesterday.
