It was possible to make money with a blog. I had a niche one for years, I didn’t make much, but nonetheless I got money from it.

Then Google changed how Adsense worked and paid.

It then became impossible to make money unless, you guessed it, you were the top x% of bloggers.

I supported my family with my blogs for around 6 years. Then things started changing, and I didn't like what they were changing to. I have zero interest in creating vapid bite-sized blurbs, or YouTube videos. So, I sold the sites and moved on with my life. Granted, the transition wasn't as seamless as I made it sound just now. It got hard, and I was broke as fuck for a while. It ended up working out well for us in the end though.
