The way it is:
I have ranted about internet lurkers, leeches and Takers before but now it has affected someone I deeply admire.
He goes by the name "Blindboy" among others..a blues mans non de plume, he is not really blind. He is a fantastic acoustic Guitar player/teacher from Liverpool and has hundreds of videos on youtube using the name "deltabluestips" If you play guitar, you will greatly benefit from his lessons. Check him out.
Unfortunately he is Finding out that being a nice guy will get him NOWHERE on the parasitic cesspool of users and takers we call the internet. People all over the world rave about how much they have benefited from his free lessons, but comments will not pay his rent. He accepts donations and sells his archived video collection of his hundreds of lessons for a mere 65 British Pound ($108.17 US)
This guy is worth his weight in gold and he is finding it very difficult these days making a living.
He says he is being supported by the same handful of happy guitar pickers and doesn't want to "go commercial" because that isn't the person he is. He loves giving but now realizes that that is the only way it will ever be. He gives, they take, they take, they take etc.
The people that read my blog are the same way. All I ask for is comments, not money, and you fucking damned to hell takers sit there lurking with your obese bodies, hideous faces, ugly children and a thumb that reeks of the shit from a dead animal!
