Top Blogs by Language - 2022

Since quizzes have a blog like this every year, thanks to our dear Stewart, blogs can have their own one too. As it, a potential evolution between the different blog sections, or even in one blog section itself, can be noticed between two consecutive years.

However, this blog is not entitled "Top Bloggers by Language - 2022". Indeed, there is no pertinent way to compare and rank bloggers. Ranking them by total number of likes could encourage spam. Some JetPunkers also use the average number of likes, but it would first encourage to publish as few blogs as possible, and then disadvantage a lot the users who published blogs before the Blog Update and the introduction of likes. That is why blogs and not bloggers are ranked here.

As the quiz version of this blog, the aim is not to judge the information, just to provide it and eventually start discussions about it. That's why I will not comment each blog itself, but only the global data at the end. A few notes will be added to explain the succes of some of the blogs below, from a strictly objective perspective.

After long hesitations, I finally decided to split the English category into two subsections, since an official blog generally have a much larger visibility than the other blogs of the RUB page.

Now, a few notes about these data.

First, we can notice that most of the foreign sections are not truly active (maybe at the exception of the French one, although its rythm of publication decreased this year), and these sections do not have so many readers/likers. It is a bit of shame, considering that many of the active bloggers of the English blog section don't speak English as their first language. It could be a good objective for them, and all the other JetPunkers interested in this project, to bruing a bit of activity to some of these blog sections.

Then, in all these blogs, only one is not JetPunk centric at all (the cathlete's one). It seems that JetPunkers really like to write and read blogs about their favourite website itself. Two of these JetPunk centric blogs are translations of the famous Stewart's SVG Guide (note that a third translation, in French, exists, but has not been published as a blog, implemented directly as the original version). Helping and being helped in quizmaking is definitely something important and useful for the JetPunk community, looking at these results.

I hope you liked this little blog and its stats. Let's see how it will change in 2023, hoping that the "non-English" sections will finally wake up.

Thanks for reading, and happy year 2023 to everyone!
