The decline of the game blog format

Currently, the Recent User Blogs has been facing a congestion of facile blogs under the 'game' category that do not have any clue of care behind. It's sensible to clarify that exceptions exist, and judging the entire genre for the errors of the majority isn't acceptable or helpful.

Good bloggers have made nice games that actually did contribute permanent value to the format, which hold inherent value besides the emotional attachment of the former players.

I'm not planning to hate the game blogs: what I'm intending is to remember the RUB that effortlessly written blogs have no place in here.

Notwithstanding, what are my points to attempt a critique towards this really 'famous' blog genre that 'lots' of people love? First of all, are these blogs even famous? You could say they are, since they have lots of comments. BUT, they are not the type of comments of this style:

They're more like this...

The people who often read the blogs are just the participants of them; it's not like (almost) any other JetPunkers read them. This engagement is revealing the insular nature of these blogs: their audience isn't the wide JetPunk community, but exclusively the participants themselves...

Their low quality may be explained by something we're seeing at plain sight... and it's the amount of them. The famous saying 'quality over quantity' should be complemented with 'if you're doing bad stuff, at least make less of it; for the sake of humanity'. After a thorough search, out of the last 250 blogs made, 106 out of 250 were blog games (41.2%); out of the last 100 blogs, 40% are related to blog games, and if we only count the last 50 ones, the percentage skyrockets to an astonishing 48 per cent...

•An example is Total Drama - JetPunk: of the last 250 blogs, only this series represents 20% of the published blogs. (45 parts)

The quality of these blogs is also explained by the hurried creation of them, as well as the lack of proofreading. The creators of those games don't refine the ideas of those games, so they just left them at the roulette wheel: it's not hard to ask for complex game ideas.

•If you need general help when writing engaging blogs, read this blog: How We Can Improve Blogs

•Don't do daily parts: they saturate the RUB, they drown down the other blogs, they don't help your reputation in general... The ideal time between blogs should be 2-3 days; a week may be ideal if the game's character is complex and loaded.

•When you finish a game blog, don't make another immediately. Take at least a month to make part two or a totally new idea.

•Make the blogs larger, and lessen the number of them. An example of a blog that took too long was Total Drama - JetPunk... Maybe 7 or 8 dense parts are better than 120.

•Why not make a blog, only after the chapter is over? In the meantime, the results of the challenges and the voting and so are told privately. The blog would be just to unveil to the RUB the results.

•If the narrative of these game blogs truly cannot be compressed into fewer posts, then here is a technical solution: make all parts EXCEPT the Sign-Ups and the Finale unlisted. The ongoing 'episodes' can be shared exclusively within the private groups or chats of the participating teams.

•If you have something like Countries ShowDown, where the community needs to participate in the series, why not do it outside JetPunk?

•The best 'game' series ever may be KiloNova's Debate stuff: those are blogs that are interesting to read!

If I have highlit critique over solutions, I apologise. The main goal I had with this blog is to help the community remember that blogs should and must have a minimum quality; or isn't that what we deserve?
