Ask HN: Does GenZ still read blogs?

Sometimes if a blog is good I’ll look at the author’s other posts. But I don’t subscribe or check for blogs on my own.

I have an RSS reader but rarely use it, because most of the content (even from people who’ve posted interesting blogs before) turns out to be boring.

I wish it was easier to find good blogs, but finding blogs is on “good” social medias (the ones that are better than other social medias) is the best way I know right now.

EDIT: I also haven't read a book longer than short story in a long time. That seems bad so I'm planning to start a novel really soon. I've read really long internet writings (blogs, posts, etc.) that took at least an hour, but certainly not nearly the size of even a 100-page book.

I do read a fair amount of academic papers because I'm in academia. But I usually skim them, and I'm not good at reading papers in-depth. For instance a paper with a lot of formalisms, I understand the what and why and have a vague idea of the how, but can't grok the formal parts.

Something else: I don't usually (but occasionally) watch movies or TV shows, I watch YouTube videos. I spend more time and usually prefer reading over watching.

To be fair, I've found a lot these through social media (ref: TikTok, X, Reddit, Fediverse, [HN?]...) after curating my algorithm since just searching for blogs I like doesn't yield much relevant results.
