My morning routine starts with:
• loopisight.com
• daringfireball.com
• marco.org
• verynicewebsite.net
• inessential.com
and with some exceptions, posts these days are just links to podcasts (which I don't have a desire to listen to). I've been told that it is because podcasts are an actual source of income, whereas blog posts are not so much a way of earning a living.
Makes me wonder if it is that podcasts are more lucrative, or that blog posts are no longer lucrative.
Edit: And did ad-blocked loss of advertising play a role in MacNN's demise?
