When retired physicist Fred Lipschultz was asked about his inclination to hoard, he said, “I call it rubble without a cause.” More seriously, he continued, “It does pain me to throw away something that’s useful.” Is that really a problem? To hold onto something that could be of use at a later point in time? If you own or run a WordPress website, the inner hoarder in you may not want the honest answer to that question.
WordPress Hoarders Anonymous (a self-help organization I just made up) says that plugin hoarding could be seriously detrimental to websites’ health and, consequently, the businesses behind them.
While WHA is still in its infancy, it does make a good point. WordPress plugins are awesome. Free, premium, whatever. They do really cool stuff for your website—stuff that doesn’t necessarily require the skills (or fees) of a professional developer. And there are new ones released all the time! If all it takes is a click of a button to download and activate, what’s the harm in adding just one more? Just. One. More.
Okay, okay… In all seriousness, WordPress plugin hoarding is a bad business practice. Period. You download
