I was excited as soon as I saw the domain name. Even after a few months, this article[1] is still at the top of my mind. You have a certain way of writing.

I remember being surprised at first because I thought it would feel like a wall of text. But it was such a good read and I felt I gained so much.

I was put off by the domain by bias against something that sounds like a company blog. Especially a "YouTube something".

You may get more milage from excellent writing on a yourname.com. This is a piece that sells you not this product, plus it feels more timeless. In 2050 someone my point to this post. Better if it were on your own name.


I had no idea this would get so much traction. I wanted to enhance my organic search ranking of my niche web app, not crash the global stock market!


I really appreciate that, thanks so much!
