This is a strange perspective. Any reader of the blog obviously considers the author's information or opinion on the topic useful enough to be reading the article. Isn't it likely that the reader would consider the author's writing on related topics useful?
Would you rather have an out-of-context list at the end: "If you liked this, you may also like posts X, Y, and Z"?
Yes, this can be abused in link-bait-seo-overoptimized ways, but that doesn't invalidate the utility of the practice.
- mst 13y agoLinks are meant to provide additional information, or context. Often, the author's views on related topics are both - perhaps they're less valuable if you've already read the archive, but ... really, sane site internal links are almost always some of the most useful ones there for long standing blogs.
