Blogging Is Still Worth It & Is Very Much Alive
Don’t Give Up on Blogging: How Over-Panicking is Telling the Wrong Story
Another day, another inaccuracy to address in the world.
Word on the internet is that blogging is dead. Or dying. That’s the sensationalist narrative.
“Don’t start a personal blog,” they say, “Traditional blogging is dead,” decries people like Evan Kelly. These complaints are mirrored all across different social media hubs.
Except that’s not true. Blogging isn’t dead. It never will be, and we’ll address why. It is still relevant today in 2024, was in 2023… These are just the latest panic-induced doomsday predictions in the social media workers sphere.
Now, everyone’s afraid. Everyone is twitchy. We all place so many hopes on all those fancy new concepts; entrepreneurialism, influencers, etc. Being a “social media worker” represent an enticing lifestyle that promises appealing rewards. The promises of financial prosperity away from the wage slavery of the corporate world, for some the dreams of endless travelling, some of us are looking to cauterise old “my parents didn’t pay enough attention to me as a child” type of wounds… The list is endless.
