There’s more to running this today than meets the eye. I’d just finished looking at the Casual Navigation vlog coming up in the next polit-post … more on that soon … but what is apparent is that some content has a shelf life.

Not politics itself, which changes day by day, hour by hour … there’s always material … but in, say, baroque music or jazz. When you take extant recordings, vinyls for example, then reduce them to those making it to youtube, then further reduce the number to “good” youtubes, then post the good ones regularly … it’s not so much the law of diminishing returns that kicks in but that we were going strong … then suddenly it all stopped, except in fits and starts, like girls on bicycles or ladies at lunchtime.

And what do we, the demanding public … demanding constant free entertainment … do once it dries up? We move on … I’m including myself in that, so feel the criticism is fair … but so is this thing we do fair … moving on. Rapacious locusts is too colourful a criticism … perhaps it’s more that there are only so many times I can run Zefiro Torna or in rock … Sultans of Swing. And in running posts, I’ve also been combing through content providers, poor sods, using their output and growling if it’s embedding disabled.

This predicament for content presenters is particularly pointed in the vlog Casual Navigation’s farewell in our next post here. There are two ways to look at it … his view v his readers … or maybe mutual understanding.

More soon.
