I feel like blogging isn't dead, though I do feel feel like "building your own website to post your thoughts" largely is. Obviously there are outliers, but I remember the late 90's/early 2000's where there were thousands of individual sites across hundreds of free/paid web hosting companies, a lot of which existed because they felt like they could express themselves more easily. IIRC that was more or less the genesis for Something Awful and The Best Page in the Universe, but it does kind of feel like now there's only like a dozen sites I ever go on now. Reddit has more or less subsumed forums, Medium (and a few competitors) has more or less subsumed blogging, YouTube has more or less subsumed any other video host, etc. I do think that overall it's better; even if there's less diversity in sites, these sites do make it easier for the non-technical person to share their opinions, so you could argue there's an increased diversity of thought, and I do think people view the late 90's internet with rose-colored glasses, but I still kind of miss it.
