Blogs embody the spirit of free speech, gossip, and information overload. The Anti Blog, however, is a loose framework for the blog that never was.

When you go to [TheAntiBlog.com](http://www.theantiblog.com), it feels like the content takes forever to load, until you realize it will never come. There are even clickable links provided, but when you gleefully select one, it takes you nowhere. The horror!

There is one sub-page, but quickly one discovers this is yet another complex frame of [useless links](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-daily-snoo). Whoever thought of this science experiment is surely laughing at this very moment.
