Blogging B*tches

I love a good rant.

Who doesn’t?

However, as a blogger, I find it fascinating when bloggers call other bloggers out.

This doesn’t just apply to female bloggers. Oh no! Male bloggers are just as bad and just as bitchy as us ladies, if not more so at times!

Yes, that’s right, I’m calling time! Time on the bitchiness!

If you’re a blogger, social media influencer, online celebrity, whatever you want to call yourself, as nowadays bloggers call themselves all sorts to try and get ahead.

“So you’re a professional blogger….ok then…moving on swiftly…”

We love a moan! The bitchier, the better.

Closed blogging Facebook groups are full of them!

Controversy, gossip, personal opinion that no-one asked for nor cares about.

To add to this, it’s not just bloggers that get slated, it’s the people we work with too. The people who pay us and invest their time and effort in us. PR people, SEO people, SEO people pretending not to be SEO people and calling themselves ‘guest bloggers’ or ‘freelance writers’.

No-one is safe!

Bloggers talk to other bloggers about bloggers they don’t like, or bloggers who are doing something they don’t agree with.

Bloggers talk to other bloggers about PR people, companies, brands, SEO people. We share information about those who don’t pay or those who always pay on time.

I’m pretty sure PR people, companies, brands and even SEO people talk about us bloggers too. On the surface we present ourselves as professional, but sometimes, just sometimes, our not so perfect ‘human’ selves rears its ugly head and we snap.

We may get a little irritable when you haven’t paid us on time or perhaps when you call us the wrong name or quote us someone else’s blog instead of our own, but we’re all human aren’t we?

We all want to succeed in life, and be good at what we enjoy.

So what is it that bloggers actually want?

Apparently we want everyone to be honest, and if we think someone is being ‘dishonest’ some bloggers will share their opinion publicly.

Of course there’s nothing wrong with having an opinion, but when you’re a beauty blogger or a fashion blogger, parenting blogger or sport blogger, a blog post about your opinion of another blogger, seems a little out of place and unnecessary if you ask me.

Yes, we all want that little corner of the internet. Some want it more than others, but does that give us the right to give our opinion on others so publicly?

I’ll let you decide on that one.
