Perhaps it's just me.....but "CherryTap" seems to be a breeding ground for voyuers, stalkers, and other ilk of general creepiness.....
Why else would I have hundreds of hits with only a few people I'd consider actual friends.....why after only joining a few weeks ago would I have >90 views on ten blog posts (1 of which is only viewable to 1 person). Its's not like I'm out there calling people over to look at my stuff....I'm not that interesting, I like what I like and it gives me a chance to write, which I don't do enough of. And maybe, just maybe a few folks like what I do and comment but that seems few and far between perhaps 1 comment per 10 views (just feel like if you look you should comment or at least rate)....
I'm sure there are plenty of people who feel they need the attention and adoration ...Not to mention some people's obsession with feeling self important to have so many adoring "fans" who wait on their updates longingly.....pouncing on every fresh post or comment....needing to be sure they appear on your page daily....or worse yet putting out some soft pink flesh to let someone self gratify themselves over :P
But seriously now: who has >200 friends?? truly?? Sure they can be people you talk to on-line, but I don't know how anyone with a real job or life has time to consider 200 people actual friends and keep correspondence....Or are these just people you don't mind invading your space whenever they feel like it?? and having deranged thoughts about being a part of your life....maybe some people like the thought that they give people agida or envy, I just don't know....
Also am I the only one who finds it creepy that "CherryTap" lets a stalker know when you've been on last, if you're online, and who you associate with such that they can also stalk you via your friends and how you leave messages to them.....unless you code it but then how will one get readers?
Many time I find when I leave people comments, my own page gets hit multiple times because nosy people want to see what's new on my end, have I posted anything that they can enjoy, mock, or what else I don't know, it's all just a bit odd to me....since most times they don't even rate/comment/or fan/friend request....please do not lurk in the shadows....
Perhaps its just a new form of schadenfreude, in which not only is satisfaction gained from others misery, but also in subvertively or even actively inciting another to agitation....and I'm talking more subtle than outright "flaming"......add that with a steady blend of stalking and a dash of voyeurism and you've got yourself the latest fetish....got nothing to do....go check up on someone else's friends maybe they've got something worth viddie'ing....need something to entertain you that night, bring on the CherryTap hookas! and Pimps they're happy to show you the goods....
For me, I blog on a rare occassion to share things with friends or to leave myself reminders of stuff that I find interesting or don't want to forget......if somebody wants to read it, or view it.....I've got the ability to control it, if I choose....
But at the same time, I don't like the idea of making things completely private....since I've found family members who have moved away, or even been found by old classmates or people who actually have something in common or want to contribute in a real and healthy way....
But for those out there just peeking in, and got no biz being in mine other than being nosy.......I'd tell you to bugger off....
Heck even as I am writing this blog 2 people have viewed my page and neither are on my friend's list and they left nothing to say why they bothered to visit.....
What's up with that??
