Pretty hilarious reading this when so many big time businessmen expert bloggers did exactly that with the Avios debacle!
This is EXACTLY what my eyes see every day in so many blogs I follow (353 to be exact!).

And mine was preceded by this disclosure ON TOP:
Warning: I have a very strong imagination and like to make up things and then channel them into my blog. It makes me feel better “letting it all out” and also makes me feel important. This is my way of dealing with my inner inadequacies and insecurities. Whatever. Brace yourselves!

Okay so let's zero in what I DID write:

>>>>>>>>>>>Loyalty Traveler (who I very highly respect) let that slip in his blog a few days ago which led me to comment further and, oh boy, are we seeing a turn in BA blog content lately or what?

Nailed it! I see it every day in Feedly.

>>>>>>>>>>>MORE posts trying to get views to soften some of the revenue losses ( I am guessing) and, brace yourselves big time, if you thought BA was already very credit card sell happy…you haven’t seen nothing yet!

Nailed it. I see it every day in Feedly.

>>>>>>>>>>>Actually, you are seeing a prime example in the amazing BIG TIME pump at One Mile at a Time in just the past few days!

Nailed it again.

>>>>>>>>>>> As you know, I am used to this stuff but even I am just blown away

Yep...I am!

>>>>>>>>>> I think in rough down revenue times from advertising sources you see the true colors of our favorite bloggers who do it for “friends and family” :-) Sadly (again), the good responsible bloggers (like Loyalty Traveler for example) are the ones who get hurt the most in these developments…

I stand by it. Sometimes I drink late at night when I blog but not that night. I had run out of booze

>>>>>>>>>>I would not be shocked if some of the BA biggies decide to go it alone. Actually, I am very surprised they haven’t done so as The Points Guy, Million Mile Secrets and Frugal Travel Guy are cleaning up the vast newbie market all to themselves!

Stating what my imagination dictated to my brain which directed my fingers on my keyboard. No arguments about MMS TPG FTG cleaning up on the newbie market I would venture to say...So, so far I am doing pretty good hey?

I then have the link to LT's post that begins with "Apparently ad payouts for blogging are ‘down the toilet’ summer 2014." I trust Ric so it does not appear an oblique reference to ME. It's not like you BA bloggers talk about this stuff openly you know...but let's continue along...

>>>>>>>>>>What I also would like to know is to find out what happened? Why did these advertisers suddenly decide to stop paying handsome prices?

BA has some pretty high ad rates, Randy has done a great job at that.

>>>>>>>>>>>The industry is known to be having some pricing challenges but the drop off at Boarding Area seems to be way too high than most anticipated?

I stand by it. Ric saying ad rates going down the toilet was one hint. I better stop there wearing my journalistic hat for a moment...

>>>>>>>>>>Of course, just like Amex, they could come back in a flash and oh happy days are here again as the advertising revenue does provide some meaningful income (from what I hear) to most bloggers.

Expressing my hopes because I love all of you. Except Delta Points :-)

>>>>>>>>>> I think of all the new bloggers who came aboard recently, especially all the ones at prior2boarding. I have no doubt that getting ad revenue was the big draw (heck, I would love it too!). Were they warned that this may not be the case any longer in the future?

I stand by it and asking a hypothetical question. Can we do THAT?

>>>>>>>>>>Or is this the reason for suddenly opening the gates to accept more bloggers to keep the traffic hit numbers up to stave off the revenue hit?

Asking another question. I think I can do that in my blog.

>>>>>>>>>>>Questions, questions looking for answers.

Got any answers instead to correct my "erroneous" claims?

>>>>>>>>>>> If someone at BA like to comment please do so below or directly to me. I will always honor your request to be off the record if you so desire.

It worked ^

>>>>>>>>>>>It is fascinating to watch all this happening…

It sure is.

Anyways, I don't want to link directly here to my post. If you are looking for it the title starts with "Breaking News: Boarding Area to be renamed Credit Card Area" which was intended as a joke in a site that is a joke.

I am falling behind on FT, too many effing blogs to keep track lol.
