I’m abandoning Mainwashed
It is with deep regret that I have decided to abandon Mainwashed. I think we had a good run in 2013, but our main source of traffic and exposure was through Facebook. In 2013 we grew from nothing to well over 50,000 followers which was awesome, but in January Facebook started to seriously stifle our reach and it hurt us badly.
In fact, every day I login to our Facebook page I’ve seen a steady decline of our followers. Our likes drop about 5-10 per day, and we really haven’t changed the way we operate. I thought that maybe I would try doing a podcast, but just seeing that number decline every day tells me to give up on that too.
Because of that I’ve decided to jump ship. I’ll leave the Facebook page up so the other admins can still have a place to post if they wish, but as far as the domain, mainwashed.com, I think when it comes up for renewal I’ll let it expire.
Thanks for all the fun, and I thought we really made a difference during the gun control debates last year, but it’s time for me to move on.
