Distribution
The audience is a major factor within the blog. For having as many people as we can see it, it would spread and bring more attention to the blog. If the blog was printed in a newspaper or shared on a major social media platform it may gain some fame and allow for even people who have never heard of the CDL to finally be introduced to it. If the blog becomes a major hit within the social media realm it would definitely help with how the blog is distributed. Many more people would be able to see it, and it may cause for some news outlets to come to the author, so that they may include a piece in a paper or on the news. Without the internet it would be very difficult for the blog and the CDL as a whole to exist. With the league being streamed on YouTube it is very difficult to see the event unless people are in the city where it is taking place. Some of the audience may hate the thought of Call of Duty. The violence, the guns, and the gore all being things that may turn away some people. Without the ability for people to take time to read it they will never know what the CDL is and how it is an up and coming league that plans to stay for awhile. Many social media platforms may block the content and not allow for it to reach as many people as the author wants for it to. With it being online much of the audience is whomever may scroll past it and with the possibility of it being shared and spread through social media it would help bring up conversations about who is the best team and who the viewer is supporting. These are all questions that make the reader think even more and this might just start the passion of a true competitive Call of Duty fan.
