Bloggin' Q's bothering me...

Could someone please explain this to me.

I thought bloggers have figured it out. But in some of the sites I have visited, I found out that there are authors who are actually critical about bloggers and blogging. This, I really couldn't understand since they are bloggers themselves. Thus, these questions in my mind...


1. Is making real money on blogs a myth?

2. With all the blogs that are now published in the net (research claimed that websites now are numbered at around 70 mil), would a good idea or concept literally drown in the current noise and not get the traffic (or attention) it deserves?

3. In relation to number 2, have good ideas and concepts reached their peak that a lot of bloggers now just resort to "been there, done that" themes (such as money-making and personal sites)?

4. Are today's bloggers (majority-wise) categorized as being one or the other? One being a money grubbing entity who peddles his blogs merely for cash reasons, or two- a lonely loser who doesn't have a life outside the box and uses his blogs to create an illusion that he actually has a life?

5. Can a blogger be accused of plagiarism or infringement of intellectual property?

I am anxious for answers to these questions, because...
