Honest question, is blogging even still a thing? I don't read any blogs honestly. I feel like blogging in 2026 is a very niche thing. Maybe I am wrong, it's just my impression. People are so "short-lived" that too much information at once seems not to be popular anymore. People want to get spoon fed all information they need, especially since AI - no?

No, it’s not really a thing in any significant way.

This guy is 17 years older than he was in 2009. The world moved on to YouTube, TikTok, etc.

A teenager today is almost certainly not going to set up a blog to share their thoughts with the world.

Most questions of this nature are just “how do I feel like I’m 23 again?”

It's definitely true to some extent, but you can't generalize "people" to some uniform group, we have various needs.
