Blogs are a good idea. We should go back to them instead of being dependent on social media.

no god please, i hate googling something and the first 12 results are all blogs that take forever to get to the point and then give a bad answer

i don't think i could live any longer if i didn't have "site:reddit.com" or "site:stackexchange.com" etc. to filter out most of the garbage
