Introduction.
Hello everyone! Skullduggerycain here. Sorry I haven't written anything in a while, I've been a tad busy with school and such. I've been meaning to write this for some time now, but it was getting a PM from one of my subscribers asking why I had "quit blogging" that really motivated me to write this. First of all, let me get things straight. I didn't quit blogging, nor do I plan to in the near future. So, now that we have everything in order, let me get back to why I'm writing this blog. It's because of a problem that I wish didn't exist, but unfortunately, I've been seeing a lot of lately. Ego. Allow me to explain....
WOOT! FIRST POP REEL!
That's how most people feel when their work debuts on the pop reel for the first time. Honestly, who can blame them? They worked hard, harder than hard, just to have the community recognize and like the incredible work which they have produced. They're learned that in this community hard work is rewarded by recognition. But can your first moment of true recognition be a bad thing?
Your Second Pop Reel.
Wow! You must be the best blogger EVER! Two pop reels! You don't even need to try anymore! Yes, this is the unfortunate truth. Whenever a new user debuts on the pop reel, they feel the need to then post another piece that's still good, but not as much so as popular-reel. However, because of the subscribers and publicity this person has gained, they still make the popular reel. This boosts their ego even further, unfortunately.
Your Third Pop Reel.
So, you’re feeling pretty good about yourself, you think you’re something special. Sure, you kind of are. Your writing is good enough for people to appreciate, which isn’t something you see every day. But that’s really no excuse to completely just stop trying, but normally, they do. And you can usually see it on their third pop reel. It’s when their ego gets inflated enough that they just don’t try as hard as they really should if they want to get on the community popular reel. Unfortunately, with every post, they gain tons of puppy dog subscribers who will love anything they post (I love you too, Fanjawi jknohomo), thus they get more and more popular. This is the sad truth of Planet Minecraft.
A Brief Intermission From The Author.
Do you see where I’m going here? This just keeps happening over, and over, and over, and over again, until eventually, almost all of them just fade away. So, what can we do about this ongoing and yet inevitable dilemma?
Are Things Prone To Turn Out Bad?
Not necessarily. In fact, some of the site’s most famous bloggers started out this way, and still retain some of the overpost attitude, but are wise enough to realize that they still need to put their best foot forward. To remain respectful, I won’t name names.
Conclusion.
Thank you all so, so, so much for reading. It really feels good to be writing again. If you liked it, remember to diamond, if you’re like, super uber nice, favorite, and if you want to see more, make sure to subscribe!

You made some very good points in your post. I actually came across a blogger here who had 100+ subs and I read one of his most recent blogs. It was kind of interesting, but so sloppily written that some people in the comments even said that they were unsubscribing from him (I know that this is an extreme example, but still......)
Anyway, here's a diamond.
