This is always kind of interesting when this happens. I think if you give your readers what they actually want to read about the numbers of your visitors increase over time. People can count on you to write or compile about what is important or entertaining to them too.
At first when I got this site in 2007 I didn't check my statistics page at all so I was writing ONLY what I wanted to write about initially.
However, then I was really surprised when I read what articles people were actually wanting to read the most.
For example, this article was one of the most read and viral articles of my earlier days at this site:
Cessna 152
This particular article was mostly about me soloing in a Cessna 152 from my point of view.
I had wanted to get my pilot's license since I was a little child.
However, my father's brother, Tommy had supposedly died in his plane in 1942 which devastated the family because he was a blonde adonis who was a very handsome fellow and very strong at 24 years of age when he supposedly died in a plane crash. (Even though all this is quite murky because he is also listed as one of the War dead from World War II in Seattle and my cousin thinks he died actually as a test pilot for planes taking off from the first aircraft Carrier to attack Japan by Air the first time which freaked them out a lot after Pearl Harbor. So, anyway his passing or distance from everyone devastated my father's family and to some degree still does even to this day.
So, as a result My father made me promise not to get my pilot's license until he passed away.
Which was a problem for me because I either wanted to be an airline pilot or a Bush pilot in Alaska (either one) as I was growing up.
However, over time people convinced me of this following truth:
"There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are NO old bold pilots still alive".
And since I have always been a very bold person though also kind of shy at times I wouldn't make a good pilot because I might take too many risks and die.
So, though I soloed in a Cessna 152 in the late 1980s after my father passed away I found I didn't feel safe in the sky alone at all which surprised me.
I was soloing and an Air Cowgirl cut in front of me on my very first solo in a landing pattern and took away my macho for flying because she almost ran into me to do this. After I landed after three touch and goes my instructor said to me: "Yes. Fred. There are even crazy Cowgirls in the sky that are dangerous fliers.
So, this was the end of my dream in the late 1980s when I was I think about 40 years old.
However, there is another factor here in that I was trying to get my older kids through high school and into college too and i couldn't really afford to do that and fly a plane could I?
So, being a good father won out here because I was no longer 20 years old and single.
Then at age 26 becoming a father for the first time basically saved my life too so I could raise my son right. Since then I have had two daughters one born in 1989 and one in 1996 so my youngest child (even though I'm presently 78 is 30 years old and lives in Texas with her boyfriend now.
The point is writing what you want to you will be very surprised what people actually want to read at your blog.
It won't be what you expect at all.
When something goes viral that you write or compile it is usually very unexpected. For example, check out these two most read articles of all time since 2007 here at this site:
These are number one and number two at present of all time since 2007
The ultra-lethal drones of the future | New York Post 2014 article
reprint of: Drones very small to largeAnd surprisingly this is number 3:
Dow futures jump 600 points after Trump says he doesn’t plan to get rid of Fed chief: Live updates
This last one I would say means a lot of investors (long term investors) read articles at this site a lot.
The previous two articles make me understand that there are also other men out there like me who are more nuts and bolts kind of thinkers and they realize we all could easily die from flying drones just like the 30,000 to 35,000 Russian Troops that are dying every month from Ukrainian drones.
The problem is when drones of the land, air, Sea and Space get together and wipe out most of the human race this century possibly within one years time.
Like many wiser adults I see this as a real problem too for human beings here on earth.
It isn't just soldiers that will be wiped out it will be all the civilians in a specific country or area by robots of land, Air, Sea and Space.
and unfortunately this is pretty inevitable now.
Will humans survive this?
I think some will by moving underground when drones of land, Air, Sea and Space are everywhere on the surface of Earth.
Unfortunately this seems inevitable right now even if this just happens to a few countries before someone puts out an EMP strong enough to kill the drones of Land, Air and Sea but not necessarily those in Space.
This is likely coming to all of us on earth and right now at least I don't see a way to prevent this just like you couldn't prevent machine guns from mowing down hundreds of men on horseback during world war I.
So, preventing human extinction from land, air, and sea drones might be one of the most important things that anyone can do this century. Because Space drones I think you might not be able to stop in any useful way at least for now.
