Pro vs Anti Community

Topics: anti, blog, controversy, Posts, pro

I recently started a blog that will be based mostly on anti attitude against one of car makers. It's a kind of personal experiment (anti-toyota.com)

I thought that if there are fan clubs of ... almost everything. Maybe opposite direction has a pretty wide audience also. Of course the key is keeping that on some reasonable "content" level - not just throwing mud.

What do You think? How from Your experience is a response for pro posts (about anything) and how do people react (through comments etc) to anti/controversial content? I would estimate them to have less power than pro, but still a reasonable amount of audience.

you should start a "hater club"

A place where people can come and "hate on" stuff.

well in all actuality - after reading your stories - it seems you actually like Toyota.

Yeah, you point out a few bad things - but you seem to appreciate the vehicles themselves.

I dunno - it's not "ANTI" enough to be an Anti-Toyota blog.
It seems to point out the DUH factor stuff - while putting all the good stuff up about it.

  thanks for answer...
  
  well I don't like Toyota, but I don't want to throw mud at them with no reason... trying to find pros and cons... but on the whole I still don't like their image...

That is a blog which has a very small niche, you'll need to link up to more online communities to build up a regular reader base.

  really small niche?
  
  I find that there are toyota fans, there are people that don't care about toyota, and there are toyota "haters" (I would seek within Honda fans for ex.)... like every car maker...
  
  depends on how You define a small niche

Ok, changed profile and blog... Anti- domain was too suggestive. Changed to more neutral ground: all cars.

carsoblog.com
