User blog comment:Marcia Aeris/What happened to originality?/@comment-26888167-20170717035730

Well, I do admit it isn't really original, but sometimes other user have pretty good ideas, and others just like to try it themselves. That's what happens in my case at least. For example, I saw these blogs of "Give your honest opinion on me", and I decided to try it myself to see what other users think of me.

Another example is when the quiz blogs happened, almost a month ago if I'm correct. Those that had about 20 questions about the user who created the quiz, to see how much you know about that user. I tried it as well as I thought it was a fun idea and I wanted to try it myself. However, for some reason my blogs receive fewer comments than other users that follow the same trend. But that aside, the main reason why we follow trends, or to be more specific, why I do it at times, is because I like the idea of the user who made the blog to begin with. I think it's a fun idea, so I decide to try it for myself.

However, I usually don't do this all the time. I never did a "face reveal" blog as I really didn't feel it was a fun idea, and I'm not really going to reveal it, so why do it? I also didn't do a "I'll give my honest opinion on you" because I'm not good at criticizing, and there's some users I don't know much so I couldn't really give an opinion on them. So, at least I only follow certain blog trends, which are those I believe are the ones that are fun. When I see a blog that has what I believe is a fun idea to try, I make one myself, and well, that's pretty much it. To be honest, I'd like to create some original blogs, but I haven't thought of anything original yet, so I like to try when someone else has a good idea.

And well, that's pretty much about it. I do agree with you that it's too much when there's too many blogs with the only difference being the user that creates it, but, well, at least for myself, this is the reason why I have followed some blog trends. Thanks for your attention.
