Is This The End of Personal Blogs?
I remember the days, not so long ago when personal blogs were the backbone of the internet. Individuals like you and I from all walks of life could share our thoughts, stories, and experiences on platforms like Blogger and WordPress. Personal blogs, also known as lifestyle blogs, provide a unique glimpse into the lives and minds of people worldwide. From travel diaries to food adventures, personal blogs were a treasure trove of diverse voices and perspectives. But if you’re like me and build WordPress blogs for a living, you might have seen a decline in such commissions. In the last twenty years, the internet has undergone enormous changes.
In February 2004, our first biggest social media platform, Facebook, was launched. Rising to fame overnight became a temptation few celebrity wannabes could resist. Shortly after the success of Facebook, six years later, Instagram was born. Favoring those who love to share snippets of their lives, it soon became the second most popular social media platform in the world. As you probably witnessed yourself, in the last two decades, the landscape shifted dramatically. During these twenty years, we’ve had one social media platform emerging after another. Some, like Twitter (X), cater to those who love to sum up their thought in a couple of sentences.
