Yeah. It's the same effect seen with Youtube videos (and amateur videos of a different type, actually). On one hand, production values are a lot higher and there is some very good content out there, but I feel that the overall SNR has gone down as quantity overtakes quality. A lot of content feels like people sensationalizing and acting like an authority on topics they clearly just googled last week
Though when it comes to technical blogs, unfortunately that seems to be what the market wants. For some reason, a significant amount of developers are loathe to ever read official docs or evaluate new technologies themselves, but are quite happy to take as gospel some random, poor, blogspam tutorial. It's an annoying type of learned helplessness. And then there's all the Youtube channels making stretched 30 minute videos about simple articles shared here last week
Though it's not like the good "for the love of it" authors have gone away, it's just that they naturally put less time into promoting their blog/channel
