I really don't get how and why are blogs dying.

Because people don't go surfing on the web anymore, they stay in the same facebook-twitter-instagram-netflix-amazon-reddit loop forever.

That's not death. That's non-virality.

For extroverts and fame-seekers, I guess that feels like death. But it's not.

There's still plenty of audience for blog posts. The blogosphere (god I hate that term) hasn't grown at the pace of social media, certainly, but that doesn't matter. And in some ways I'd probably consider that a good thing for the medium.
