The Reality of Blogging Today
Blogging isn’t what it used to be, mainly because of AI, and I’m seriously rethinking whether it’s worth keeping my chicken-keeping resource site. If you’ve been on the internet long enough, you probably remember when blogs were personal, honest, helpful, and full of real people sharing things they learned the hard way. Today, those voices feel much quieter, and AI plays a big part in that shift.
Once AI tools arrived, it became far too easy for anyone to pump out endless “informative” posts with very little effort. While that might sound impressive at first, the trade-off has been a flood of repetitive content with very little substance. Blogs used to feel human, but now most of them read like dry, impersonal textbooks. Thoughtful, original posts that once had a chance of being discovered are now buried beneath fast, mass-produced AI articles.
As a long-time blogger who has built trust with readers for 13 years, it’s become obvious that my site is being pushed aside.
AI isn’t going anywhere, it’s useful, convenient, and I won’t deny that I use it too. I understand that the world has changed, podcasts, videos, and smartphones have become the go-to sources for just about everything. Still, I hope people eventually start craving authenticity again and choose to connect with real humans.
For now, I’ll keep my blog, but I can’t promise what the future holds. It’s expensive, time-consuming, and honestly, it’s probably going to end up on the growing list of “extinct” technologies sooner rather than later.
The numbers don’t lie, and it’s hard to ignore the reality that fighting against the convenience of quick AI-generated information feels almost pointless.
For now, I’ll keep my blog, but I can’t promise what the future holds. It’s expensive, time-consuming, and honestly, it’s probably going to end up on the growing list of “extinct” technologies sooner rather than later. It’s sad, but times change, and it’s something we all have to accept or get left behind. New challenges help us grow, and I’m up for it. I think.
I’m interested in your comments and opinions.
