I've been writing blog for almost 15 years. I think blog died because readers can not support blogs in some way. Many readers became silent subscribers and that's it. The RSS is only a publishing protocol. It's a good format to subscribe some notification, updates and such, but it's no match for the two-way relationship of modern social network. 1. The user can not directly comment with an RSS nor contact the author in some way 2. Author can not gain profit from RSS. Nor the reader app, distributor and publishers. There needs to be a payment option in RSS style. Twitter and Facebook are exactly opposite of this, it's built upon layers of layers of connections and there is no way to enumerate the whole graph. It gets tired pretty fast and became an echo chamber. Contents tend to get shorter to grab attention with fragmented information everywhere. And in the era of mobile phones, making content on a small screen is painful. But making viral videos are not. I think someday if videos are just easily indexable and searchable as texts, Tiktok can become the blogging platform of next generation.
