A preprint will still give less value to the negative result. No peer review (being a broken system or not) and not being published in a "proper" journal will make it less likely that the results will be recognised / accepted.
The whole point is, that a negative result can have as much value as a positive one...
Why was this comment flagged, it's reasonable?
A blog post won't be indexed on google scholar for other academics to reference though. Maybe a preprint would be?
In my opinion the goal is to get a record of the information and the dataset out there.

It will if its on an edu domain.
The whole point of publishing studies is to be able to brag about how many impressions you have, which is good for your career. Who is going to care that your blog got views?
