Hi, I'm Glenn!...Hi, I'm Glenn!...Hi, I'm Glenn!

The only thing worse that posting useless content, is posting it multiple times. When reading Glenn's latest post about cleaning out his RSS subscriptions, I was vaguely reminded of another post I had read about cleaning out RSS subscriptions. If I could just remember where...OH RIGHT!! It was on GlennWolsey.com of course. Notice the similarity between the following two posts?

Honestly Glenn, there was absolutely nothing substantial in the first post, so why recycle the same garbage and post it again? Going back to the same quote I used in the first post (including a part I didn't publish the first time around), it seems like your actions completely contradict your words. And we all know that actions are what count.
I've always kept a simple vision when it comes to blogging for maximum output quality for myself and advertisers. Quality content people want to read. I don't try and trick people into reading anything, they read it because they enjoy it.

How exactly does informing your readers you trimmed down your RSS feeds qualify as quality content? Are you seriously that delusional?
