from Diary 2024-07-04 The decline of blogging
tokoroten “The decline of the blog”…
I think that the blog culture has become much less expensive to consume content than the web diary culture that preceded it, because the format has become more uniform, like container story. Also, blog culture is centered on citation references, which was another factor that lowered the cost of consumption.
“The format is consistent and easy to read.” “It’s a citation reference, so it’s short, easy to read, and gives perspective.”
Nevertheless, today they have been replaced by Twitter
As a result, blogs are paradoxically required to be long-winded, image-rich, and original, and the cost of content consumption has jumped, so they have declined!
The emergence of SNS has reduced the advantages of Blog.
