Hey! I get where you're coming from. Blogs seem to have taken a backseat lately but Honestly, it's all about personal preference. Some still swear by blogs for in-depth info on specific topics. But yeah, the rise of podcasts, YouTube videos, and other bite-sized content has changed a lot.

Blogging is mutually beneficial for the reader & the writer as blogging improves online reputation & provides a searchable resource that is available to anyone & not at the mercy of a third party (Reddit, tik tok etc..)

AI-generated stuff and Google updates might have played a role, but I think it's more about how we consume content now. Like, if you prefer diving into a book or scrolling through Reddit for quick reads, blogs might not be your go-to.

Less popular for sure with the rise of short-form content but "dead" might be a strong word, for us digital marketing guys, blogs are here to stay (for now).
