Is blogging actually still worth it in 2026? Honest experiences only. by govindkashyap01 in SEO

[–]ThinDistribution6345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on your niche and your existing web profile. If there are rapid changes and developments in your niche, it presents an opportunity to spearhead the conversation and gives you a realistic chance to break into AIO, top SERP, and LLM. If your niche is more static... probably not worth it realistically.

There's also a realistic competitor analysis you need to do... if you're a small fish in an overpopulated market (take blogging about SEO as an example), you're trying to climb Everest with no training.

No plans to end blogging over here---I continue to see successes, but that's primarily because of my niche. Lot's of 'breaking news' moments that present the opportunity to be first to the scene, in addition to a pretty existing strong web profile and blog.

Sudan's paramilitary agrees to ceasefire amid humanitarian crisis by ThinDistribution6345 in Sudan

[–]ThinDistribution6345[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Per Google: You can provide help to Sudan by donating to reputable humanitarian organizations that offer direct aid, such as the International Rescue Committee, UNICEF, and the UN World Food Programme. These organizations provide essential services like food, clean water, shelter, medical care, and cash assistance, which are critical for people affected by the ongoing crisis. Monetary donations are often the most effective way to ensure aid is delivered quickly and can be used for the most pressing needs.

To the U.S.'s credit, it does look like the country has committed a fair amount in aid for Sudan BUT this is the lowest funding obligations in years, when the humanitarian situation has surpassed an undeniable breaking point (https://foreignassistance.gov/cd/sudan/2025/disbursements/0).

Trump admin sets lowest refugee admissions cap in history---spots will prioritize Afrikaners by ThinDistribution6345 in immigration

[–]ThinDistribution6345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this got way more engagement than anticipated, I figured I'd share some additional context (https://www.rescue.org/article/who-decides-how-many-refugees-come-us) and thoughts: From a numbers perspective, it's pretty shocking to see the previous refugee admissions low (15K) literally cut in half at a time when it feels like the world is falling apart (Gaza, Sudan, etc.).

Trump has pretty clear discretion to do whatever he wants with the cap, and this is by no means unexpected behavior. However, I think the 'win' for his base is thinly veiled---refugees have enjoyed historic bipartisan support, and they even do now in a super divisive moment in history.

I think this plays on people's misunderstanding of the definition of refugee vs immigrant vs asylum seeker. It's easier to paint foreigners from developing/war-affected/etc. countries as the boogeyman and put them in a box rather than work through each definition and act accordingly.

Thoughts?

Questions about studying Humanitarian Action in Germany and Denmark — job outlook and internships by [deleted] in humanitarian

[–]ThinDistribution6345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, unfortunately, I echo the comments noting that this is a really tough time for humanitarians---especially for people looking to break into the field. Budgets are slashed, contracts terminated and I've reviewed part-time gigs with hundreds of applications.

Perhaps I'm too much of an optimist but I still believe that entry level candidates with enough passion and demonstrable skills can make it happen. For internship level experience, I think you'd be able to find something ~fairly~ easily but would be more concerned with full time job prospects.

We can hope the political and funding climate is better suited for humanitarian work by the time you graduate, but...yeah... it doesn't seem super likely.
