How is the blogosphere doing? Is it all about forgotten? Or is it alive and well? I don't follow any blogs, but am very glad that they exist. It seems to me to be the most genuine expression of social media.
- gbear605 5y agoI follow hundreds of them and they’re mostly still alive, so my area of the blogosphere at least is.
- shp0ngle 5y agoSubstack is the new rage now. I don’t really understand why - it’s just a blog with mailing list! - but maybe the addition of payments make it work. I have to say I really enjoy Substack as a platform. But I thought that about Medium few years ago, and now I actively avoid Medium articles. So, whatever.
- vxNsr 5y agoI think the difference here is that medium tried to be free and then charge, while substack leaves that up to the author. Medium followed the Web 2.0 model, substack is following Web 3.0? Creators get to choose how to monetize their product, platforms just act as platforms and get out of the way.
