Why Has Tnet Traffic Slowed Down So Much?

[Charl]

Problem I have seen is many Facebook artifact pages have too many natural rocks and so called potable rock art posted as actual real artifacts, it is misleading to new hunters, and when you point it out you are accused of not knowing real artifacts.

We’ve all seen people show up here, who sometimes refuse to accept the fact that their rock is a rock. Happens in all forums and Facebook groups. I’ve actually been studying it, as I’m interested in the explosion of Dunning-Kruger effect(people who think they know more than they know) in the internet era.

Look what happens on Facebook! Don’t like it when experienced artifact folks tell you “it’s a rock”!? Well, we have a group for you too. 25,000+ members! Just don’t tell anyone it’s just a rock! Dunning-Kruger Effect is totally out of control, which is dovetailing with the overall rejection of sources of authority in many areas of modern life.

...and I thought it was because the weather improved, and more folks are out swinging.

I've reduced my presence here quite a bit....some reasons are personal, and others are practical. Time is best well spent wisely, and it's not always wise to spend tremendous amounts of time getting caught up in things that really don't mean much to the quality of how your spending time. Some of the other sites are just better and have more engaging content that t-net doesn't have. Many people do more than one site, and are here and there...others have left here for good, and I'm able to catch up with what there up to on other sites. I found that posting up gold ring after gold ring even gets old to the crowd here. So it's more lurking and listening when I'm here now, and less posting finds. It is a dated, clunky, and antiquated site, and more are moving on to more modern platforms. Videos, blogs, vlogs, livestreams, storylines etc.etc are the new way of social media, and the old post up is not as desired amongst the new crowd. So much more international representation on the other sites, and yeah....younger crowd doing new things. There is fresh content on a scale that absolutely dwarfs t-net on the other sites, and doing business and making money is far easier!! but t-net always has its place....for me at least !! And I'll always be watching....just posting less of the same thing over and over !! The gold platinum and silver is flowing, but just no desire to post it here week after week to the same crowd....who knows maybe I'll feel like sharing again....just not here everyday anymore.....for now at least !!
