The FORKING Truth is that Facebook & Jetpack want A LOT OF MONEY from Food Bloggers that don’t make any money off Blogging

The FORKING Truth is that Facebook & Jetpack (a WordPress Plugin) wants a LOT of Money from food bloggers that don’t make a dime on their blog.

Recently I published a story on BBQ Mexicana. Facebook suggested me to pay them $91. for 385 views…….

Everyday they ask for a different amount of money for a different amount of views.

A few days latter-

Facebook asked for $168. for 11,149 views.

Then on another day-

Facebook asked for $147. for 15,465 views.

Jackpack doesn’t really ask for money on a daily basis but periodically they upset me.

Sometime in the last year or two I wasn’t able to “Like” other people’s blogs. They said I ran out of “free” likes and needed to pay them another $200. yearly to like other people’s blogs. Since I couldn’t “like” other people’s blogs many of those people stopped liking my blog. But also many of those people also discontinued their blogs…(I wonder why….only kidding)

I don’t know why or how but sometime latter I was able to “like’ blogs again but most of my old “blogger” friends are long gone now.

Now Jetpack wants more money from me again. They want $4.50 monthly so I can view my statistics.

I figure this is the reason why most people are switching to Pod Casts, You Tube, and Tic Tok.

I have to tell you I AM JUST SICK OF THIS! ……..(Thank You for listening…I feel slightly better now)

And this is what Facebook wants today.

And that’s The FORKING Truth

El Nopal Mexican Grill – Neighborhood Type Mexican Restaurant NORTH LAS VEGAS NV

El Nopal Mexican Grill is a neighborhood type Mexican Restaurant located on the NORTH LAS VEGAS Restaurant row (Craig Road) Nevada. They offer much of your usual Mexican foods like soups, nachos, enchiladas, quesadillas, tacos, burritos, salads, burgers and more. Soft beverages, beer, and margaritas are offered. They have festive seating inside and a small patio outside.

They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa.

The salsa is good but VERY SPICY HOT!!!!!!!!!! The chips are average. We tried margaritas. They were made with fresh squeezed juice and do taste good but are light with alcohol.

They also give you fideo soup before your entrees.

It’s a chicken-tomato based broth with thin noodles in it.

For my main I tried a chicken fajita.

It’s a very large portion of food that can be two meals for some people. The chicken is tender and came on a sizzling skillet with beef peppers, tomatoes, onions, a jalapeƱo and this sauce…(that I can’t stomach) that brought it down for me. If this sauce was removed this could be great. This also came with rice, beans, guacamole, and chile of tortillas.

My husband tried the Asada Alambres (sizzling skillet with beef, ham, tomatoes, peppers, chorizo, onion, bacon, and cheese).

He thought that it was also made with the sauce that I didn’t like but he was able to eat this whole thing.
