Did YBF.com Get Bought By Vibe?

I go to a few blogs on the daily to get my dose of gossip and see what people are discussing. Sites like sandrarose.blogspot.com (thank you for the shout out today), stylerazzi.blogspot.com, crunktastical.blogspot.com, tmz.com, and ybf.blogspot.com. All of these sites offer something interesting and original despite sometimes talking about the same subjects. In the high speed world of gossip and entertainment news, he who says it first may not always say it best.

I noticed today that one of the sites I visit, ybf, appears to have been bought out by Vibe. Why? Have you ever read a Vibe magazine? Avid readers of Vibe know that in order to get to the table of contents, you practically have to cut the first quarter of the issue off and begin around page 120. Well the virtual equivalent of Vibe is now ybf's new page. When entering the page, you will be greeted by a big blank space; a white light pulling you into clicking advertisements. I'm surprised she doesn't have Tragina's voice from Poltergeist playing in the background, "go to the light Caroline."

I've known quite a few bloggers that have taken their blogs from Myspace and blogger.com to go on and form their own sites. When you do that, you are telling people that you are now above the frey and that your site is the place to be on. Well bloggers of the world, make sure you aren't recruiting your 3 year old cousin who just took a web design class at Best Buy to design and plan your page launch. We read your blogs because we like to be entertained, not bombarded with ads and pictures you stole from other pages. Step your game up. When you launch your own site, your readers expect an AMG S-Class not a C-Class with a Kompressor.
