Web traffic stats for Celebitchy.com for today 11/23

#celebitchy #ban

I visited Celebitchy.com today. And here is what we have on offer


  • Traditional race baiting posts - discussing race issues and educating each other is all fine and good but there is no discussion that I see. These posts are mostly used to jump on people who dare to step out of the line ever so slightly. Such posts don’t help race relations. They only make everyone more entrenched in their positions.
  • Kanye’s meltdown - Kanye has been a favorite on that site for a long time and endless excuses were made for him. People rejoiced when Taylor Swift was outplayed by Kanye and Kim. I don’t really have much to say about Kanye, his music is not my cup of tea. But I had two issues with him over the summer which Celebitchy willfully ignored and moderated people who were pointing those issues out .
  1. The naked figures of women in the video used to make money without gaining agreement from these women
  2. Illegal release of recorded conversation with Swift by Kim. Even if it was fun to watch the house Kardashian square off with the house Swift, you can’t sweep under the carpet that what happened wasn’t exactly legal.
  • This is classic Celebitchy – the site acts like a propaganda outlet by looking to ruthlessly shape opinions. It promotes the opinions that it likes and removes any opposing opinions.
  • The usual British royal family posts - Kate is bad, Carol is bad, Harry is cute. I actually somewhat admire Carol Middleton. This woman made her family who they are. Sure, maybe the same energy and skill could’ve been used for other more high minded things. But still. You have to give credit where credit is due.

Thank you for creating this tumblr. Myrna here past commentor on Celebitchy recently banned as well due to election posts. I found you on Liana Thinks. Kaiser's posts and comments allowed in are dangerous, in my opinion. They spew hatred and represent a faction of our country's population that concern me moving forward after the election. As a professional journalist, I am grateful that you and others are bringing attention to what's going on with Kaiser and Celebitchy.

Thank you, anon.  Welcome to the club. )) I also got banned over political posts. It is just too one sided on Celebitchy.com these days. People don’t want to hear what the other side has to say and attack them like a mob.

Kaiser also has a nasty habit of blocking responses. So when one side willfully misinterprets posts, you can’t even offer clarifications. Not nice at all.

I think we have to talk to all sides and understand where people are coming from. In the end, most people want same things - security, happiness. If we can find common ground it would be beneficial for all. Instead the sites like Celebitchy.com divide us. And the language some posters use towards anyone who doesn’t agree with them is completely unacceptable. They wouldn’t accept such language towards someone they like, but it is Ok if they don’t like someone. They are bigots.

The traffic to the Celebitchy.com site keeps going down. Yep, this is what happens when you censor heavily and don’t allow any points of view, other than your own. People lose interest and move elsewhere.

I am curious what is going to happen - are they going to unblock everyone and hope people come back, start writing more about celebrity gossips instead of identity politics? Clearly the Huffington Post #2 approach is not working for them.

I checked out the Celebitchy.com today. It is the usual fare - anti-Trump articles with no insight whatsoever, Angelina and Harry. Kaiser’s limited life experience is showing. She cannot come up with new subjects.

I don’t understand the posters there - they can’t stand Kate but they love Harry. I don’t support monarchy, so I am pretty negative on both. but I am not going to criticize Kate for her looks or clothes. My issue is with monarchy not with her. And all the gushing about Harry while taking underhanded digs at his girlfriend is par the course for Celebitchy, of course.

#celebitchy #ban

I visited Celebitchy.com today. It looks like it has become a place for upset Hillary Clinton supporters to gather spew negativity about everyone else. The personal attacks on everyone  who didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton are unseemly. That is the reason I was banned from there. I was asking people show some civility towards the other side. But Kaiser would have none of that.

It looks like everyone who doesn’t support Hillary has been banned from the site and it has become a complete echo-chamber. Here are some choice comments from today’s article about elections:

Kaiser: “Do I have to apologize for thinking the same thing? Like, all of you Trump voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida and North Carolina: I think you’re stupid.”

Other commenters:

“Trump supporters are stupid, racist and sexist and they deserve everything bad that is going to happen to them through Trump. I have no sympathy for them”

“We can blame the people that voted third party. They had the power to change this election and they threw their vote away. Voting third party in this election was the same as not voting. There were enough third party votes that, had they gone to Hillary, we would be having a very different conversation right now. ”

“Like it or not stupid racist white women are also to blame for this disaster. If you are going to believe the polling numbers for white men, then you need to look at everyone else and the numbers for white women voting for that trash box were high”

“ A vote for Trump means you’re stupid. Period. ”

And so on. You get the point. The anti-Trump articles get hundreds of comments while gossip ones get 20-30 comments. I guess the Celebitchy.com writers figured out that political controversy yields more clicks because the site now starts to look more like Huffington Post lite. But I don’t think they’ll be successful in rebranding. First of all, Kaiser is just not that good or smart enough of a writer. And second, Huffington post doesn’t censor the mildest dissent.

I see Kaiser is back to her old tricks of trying to drive up the traffic to the Celebitchy site by baiting Cumberbatch fans.  She says

“  … TV critics said that SNL was struggling to write roles for Benedict, which I can believe. If he could do better accent work, he might have broadened his chances, but he’s basically at home playing posh intellectuals for a reason, you know? “

According to her, the SNL writers had trouble writing for Benedict because he is bad with accents. Really? Did she not notice he had a different accent in almost every segment? 

That is what she does - posts something she knows not true to have fans posting gazillion comments explaining why it is not true, and driving up the clicks to the site. Ka-ching!

So far nobody took the bait. Good job Cumberpeople!

I checked the web traffic to the Celebitchy.com site. Things are not going well for them. There is major drop off in traffic around August-September 2016. At this rate Celebitchy.com will be gone in a year. Their global rank dropped by 5 thousand places to 21,589 in just a couple of months.

I noticed that most other writers are gone and all posts are now written by Kaiser and one daily post from Celebitchy.

I was wondering about their business model. A gossip site which censors heavily is a bit of a misnomer. And Kaiser has been especially free with moderation and bans lately.

I recently was banned from Celebitchy site because I don’t share Kaiser’s unquestioning worship of Hillary Clinton and some of her other political views. I am an independent and I supported Bernie Sanders. (Kaiser is the main writer and the queen bee on the Celebitchy site).

I was never rude to anyone but I wanted to have a realistic discussion about the upcoming presidential elections. I was banned. From a gossip site. For having a different political view! It is completely ridiculous.

I wasn’t on that website for long. I liked some posters. But I couldn’t help but notice that some of frequent posters would just completely disappear one day. I later found out that they were banned for disagreeing with Kaiser as well.

On the subject of the presidential elections the banning there got so bad that Celebitchy turned into an echo-chamber, where a few posters post the same thing over and over. There is no dissent as it is not allowed.

I created this blog to allow myself and anyone else to chat about celebrity gossip without being censored. Be kind. I am not a particularly bitchy or mean person. This was one of my problems with Celebitchy.  I always stand up for the underdog.
