Since internet, and since Yahoo and Google evolved with their algorithms we stop write for us, we stop write for people. Instead we write to be on the first page in Google search.
We adjust paragraphs, make SEO optimized titles, optimize SEO. SEO has become as important as salt in food. We want desperately to be read by as many people as possible. I admit, sometimes I have my even myself this disease.
So sad.
Off topic: I finished reading today a book of a Romanian philosopher obsessed with death, Emil Cioran. Although an atheist by nature admits that there is something after this life. The book is named Temptation to exist.
Yes, we stop writing for us, we write for Google or for money. I ask my self sometimes what will happen with writing in a future full of AI and Chat GPT that know almost all and can adopt all stile of writing, from ironic to funny.
But we must continue to write! At least those that have something to say.
