Human evolution is closely linked to the development of mental illness.

The more a person thinks outside of the traditional household, the more he finds in himself a wide variety of mental health disorders.

Well, just like that hero of a work about a boat and a dog, who, from idleness, found in himself all the diseases, except for puerperal fever.

Because I was looking.

All these non-binary children of Hollywood stars, all these girls yearning in neighboring countries without certain occupations, but with a certain set of diagnoses, are all obvious consequences of evolution.

People who call themselves psychotherapists need to earn money, pharmaceutical companies need to produce multi-colored pills, special publications need to write something about all this - in general, everyone is busy with business.

Except for the patients.

Now here's a new story with bloggers.

Well, that is, it is not new, of course, psychic bloggers have already been taken so many times not only in hospitals, but also in pre-trial detention centers.

But suddenly one of these very bloggers (I don’t name the name, because it doesn’t matter, it’s just a set of meaningless letters) admitted that bloggers “often are depressed because of the fear of losing demand.”

And of course, he advised such bloggers to contact mental doctors, because 5-10 thousand per session is nonsense, but you will be sane.

You know, it just so happened that I am familiar with the first Russian blogger.

Which began to lead the resource "Paravozov-News" in 1996.

It was a completely icy temperament man.

Then there was Nosik, who learned to monetize.

Somewhere nearby I was with my regular notes about Russian pop music.

But I assure you, as someone who has been drinking intermittently with all of the above, they showed no signs of mental illness.

Of course times have changed.

The speed of time has changed.

And the current bloggers have to keep up, while we were not very supposed to keep up.

And more technical efforts should be made to lure the public.

“A time of great change, a time of fast speed, a time of fast content, a time when you are in demand today and not tomorrow.

Everything develops unrealistically,” said our sufferer.

And I can't argue with him.

Yes, it's all true.

Except for one most important factor: being a blogger is embarrassing.

A blogger is nobody.

Blogging is not a profession.

And so when a blogger gets depressed because another blogger will take his place tomorrow, then this is how it should be.

Because every blogger should understand that one day this will really happen.

And it would be worth thinking about what he will do next before becoming a blogger.

Or at least while blogging.

Girls don't like losers.

And any blogger one day will definitely become a loser.

How, by the way, did all the heroes of the second half of the 1990s I listed above become.

Well, of course, in the field of blogging.

They have succeeded in other areas.

Well then.

To formulate a problem is to solve half of the problem.

It remains only to understand what comes first.

A blogger becomes a psycho because he is a blogger.

Or a person becomes a blogger because he is crazy.

The answer to this question is completely non-obvious.

It happens this way, but it happens otherwise.

Well, that is, a mental doctor to work with bloggers must have at least two specializations: one is to explain to the blogger that it would be nice to do something useful for society.

And the second is to explain to a mentally ill person that he does not need to be a blogger.

Because it doesn't get any better for him.

And the factories, by the way, are standing still.

Yes, I just read on Telegram: “As a result of blocking Instagram * in Russia, 67% of social network users will lose their income.

Income will be lost both by bloggers who earn on the social network through advertising, and by self-employed users or individual entrepreneurs: tutors, lawyers, photographers and others (about 35%).

Today, not only the self-employed are among the victims: enterprises that attracted customers only through Instagram, as well as small businesses, are suffering significant losses.

According to expert estimates, 60% of the self-employed doing business in networks and using these sites earn from 10 thousand to 100 thousand rubles using Instagram, more than 21% earn more than 100 thousand rubles.

It is also important that for many Instagram is the only source of income.

Do you understand?

The only source of income!

A site where you can publish square pictures with a caption is the only source of income!

Yes, here you don’t have to go to a psychiatrist, but immediately do a lobotomy.

Well, to never again have the idea of ​​making a site with square pictures your only source of income.

Of course, I do not deny the existence of people who make real high-quality content.

But the audience of such people will follow them anywhere, they do not depend on the platform.

And if necessary, they will make their own website.

But such people do not dare to call bloggers.

And with their mental health, judging by the content, everything is in perfect order.

Yes, there are not so many of them.

But they are.

And the rest - to a psychiatrist.

And then to factories.
