I have decided to leave my WordPress.com blog. I will not delete it because I believe some information there might still be helpful to some people but I stopped writing on it since the other day.

It’s very frustrating. I blog from China where a huge number of blogs and blogging sites are blocked but because I do looove my WordPress.com blog, I always find a way to access it and update it. I even paid for a proxy site just to update, navigate, access, and manage my WordPress.com blog. Of course it’s not the same like when you are using a free (not blocked) WordPress.com. Using a proxy site still has limitations and this makes me so frustrated when I think of it. I go all these trouble for my WordPress.com blog but WordPress.com doesn’t allow me to benefit from my blog. I mean… what the hell, right!? It’s such a selfish relationship. Bloggers are the ones who build the WordPress.com community and WordPress.com is benefiting so much from its bloggers. Why not reward their bloggers by letting them benefit from being a member of this community? Why not let the bloggers write about sponsored posts. Why not let bloggers display ads? If they fear that splogs would swarm their site, they could at least develop some sort of rules to avoid this.

So anyway, right now I really feel that WordPress.com is being selfish.
