Nope. It still exists and I use it.

And I'm given hell for it.

The degree to which my blogging gets so much hostility from people does not mesh with articles like this one claiming they wish blogs still existed. I can't get traffic for my blogs. No one shares them but me and then I get crap for doing that.

If you want that kind of internet, foster it. Look in the mirror. It's not just choices made by big companies or whatever that shape this space.

You shape it with your actions. And I get a fuck ton of accusations that if I advocate for something, it's "content marketing" and not my actual opinion. And the many people who know I'm dirt poor and most of my blogs have no ads, etc, usually don't bother to come forward to defend me or make sure to post first before some random internet stranger can thread shit.

Downvotes: Ironic evidence of the veracity of my claims.
