Some niche hanger oner’s maybe.
But like the way it’s nostalgic to read a physical newspaper.
I blog and will continue, but we are a dying breed. Our kids, kids will say ‘blogging 🧐’
And I will say from my dinosaur rocking chair
‘Back in my day we wrote words on a screen for others to read and comment on’
There will still be bloggers like there are still people currently watching movies on blue ray

It was the same at all times - for example, many people used to blog in the 19th century too - wrote diaries, articles, books. However, most people preferred spending time drinking and talking. TikTok always existed - bars, pubs, and city squares with wandering performers, beggars, salesmen, brawlers, gossips, and so on. And kids - even from educated families - always preferred watching lepers and jugglers at the city square to writing. And, no, the circus never replaced writing.
YouTube talking-head videos - it’s just the same thing - visualized writing. In several years, we’ll hopefully have a button “visualize the article” on Hive, and you’ll be able to watch smiling Hive bloggers, looking like in real life, reading their blog posts.
As for TikTok, it might eventually turn into a pure AI stream, serving as both an antidepressant and a substitute for communication, personal life, and adventure for poorly educated people - the booze of the age of robots.
