I don't know if blogs are the answer, but twitter is certainly the website equivalent of typing into WebMD "Bleeding from the anus". There's just so little there of value amonst an absolutely swarm of careerists (see every journo) sociopaths (see anyone replying to a journo) and arseholes (see anyone replying to anyone they don't follow). This isn't a COVID-19 thing, this is essential to twitter as a platform. And the SV folks know it too- which is why their libertarian credentials went out the window the second it got serious. There's absolutely a problem that there are experts on twitter, because it's preventing them from being somewhere they can be seen by anyone with an ounce of sense, but the replacement to twitter needs more connectivity than blogs (not as much as twitter) and the classical separation of author from consumer. That's the fundamental problem - you could be Fauci or Trump, you're still just a twit. Whereas in the past it would be Fauci writing an update on the HHS website, and Trump being ignored on Sean Hannity's comment section.
