I've been blogging since 2008 [1]. I think blogs are the least 3rd party reliant outlets for personal/pro content. As long as you can keep your domain, you have control over how, where and when your content is accessible. You control your URLs, whether you want ads or not, layout, etc. Simple web pages (as opposed to walled gardens of social networks) are search engines' best friends. As for mine, I actually wrote a static blog generator from scratch in 500 lines of python and all the articles are in pure HTML. Runs on S3 (can move away in a heartbeat), fast as a Ferrari and I wouldn't give it up for the likes of Medium in the long foreseeable future. [1]: https://blog.oxplot.com/ https://blog.oxplot.com/
