Rencently the images I've uploaded to
Blogger (which is the platform I use for my websites, one of which you are looking at now) have had their colours
automatically changed, ruining the quality. At first I thought it was a glitch that would eventually resolve itself, but it kept happening. So I searched
online to see if anyone else has this problem and it turns out, lots of
people. It's due to an ‘auto-enhance’ feature
Google added that can only be turned off if you join Google+.
Google. Fucking Plus.
I’m so angry. Google have thrown all these
inconveniences at their users to force them into joining their piece of shit
social network. We all noticed it on YouTube when comments and the like/dislike
button was suddenly denied to anyone who only had a mere Google account. And
now it’s my website. Which admittedly fewer people have noticed… but for fuck
sake, this is my work! This is my God damn life I’m trying to build from the
bottom up! Everything depends on the artwork looking good, it's what I slave over. I refuse to believe that a company as successful as Google has
hired programmers dumb enough to think their auto-enhance feature actually
enhances anything.
So I’m gonna be moving my websites to
another platform as soon as I can, which either means enlisting the help of a
friend to move everything as it is or building something entirely new. Obviously I’ll let you know what's happening. Until then, things carry on as normal.
You know, I’d probably
have joined Google+ eventually just out of damn curiosity. But I utterly refuse
to succumb to this fucking blackmail.
