I started out with Wordpress circa 2011 but I switched to Pelican/AWS once the plugins became available to use Jupyter notebooks in the blogs (I'm a geoscientist so I like to show numerical/computational stuff in the posts, although it's been a few years).
More recently I've implemented some cool plate tectonics visualizations in D3.js:

https://rocksandwater.net/global-block-model/ https://rocksandwater.net/global-block-model/ (work-in-progress global tectonic plates/blocks)
For those who are primarily interested in blogging for writing purposes (i.e. primarily text based) then going with a wordpress/medium type centralized solution sounds great. For me, SSGs can better deal with the content that I make, and pushing to AWS is really not that hard.
Of course I'm not really interested in wide visibility either (pretty niche stuff here...).
