Is it? I haven't seen anyone in my circle return to blogging, nor kids of this generation.

Discoverability is going to be a massive problem, since search engines are dead. Maybe word-of-mouth through social media is enough?

Social media referral traffic is also dead, mostly due to algorithms that really don’t want users to click out of their websites.

The only exception is Bluesky because it does not have algorithmic feeds, but technical content does not do well as most technical people did not migrate.
