Nobody does personal blogging. Well, except a few specific primates doing so on Xitter. And I've also seen some people with at least half a brain getting a domain and writing blogs there in hopes someone clicks on their link.

You're reading blog to literally. Think how people traditionally use Facebook/Myspace, posting regular updates, photos from their life, etc, intended primarily for friends and family to see. What's the equivalent of that for kids today?

None. It is no longer "cool" to post your entire life onto the internet. Source: I am a kid.

I mean, outside of posting a few pics of college events, I don't think most of my friends post pictures to Instagram. Hell, some of them like me don't even have Instagram/major social media anymore.

Before I left Insta, I didn't even bother to follow friends/irl people I know ~~because I'd rather talk to them in person that shit's dumb~~, I really only looked at memes, silly reels/vids, and fanart of stuff. Like 90% of Gen Z is only on social media for content and lols, not to update each other on their lives

I talk to my friends in person. We share pictures of shit we do in life to each other in group chats, but 95% of what we do was done as a group anyway. We don't really feel the need to let randos/online friends know every thing we're doing all the time.
