I also wish there were more blogs like back during the blogging era, although for the usual reasons I think they'd be better for authors if not described as blogs: http://tttthis.com/edit/blog/if-i-could-bring-one-thing-back-to-the-internet-it-would-be-blogs … I wonder why we mostly lost this bit of social technology while actual technology improved.

If you think of your favorite individual bloggers from back in the day, a) how many still blog and b) how many would you still describe as "a blogger" in terms of their professional accomplishments?

I think there really was a massive career/impact/etc upgrade available to one particular form factor of writing on the Internet, and that upgrade got taken advantage of by many people, and it didn't so much vanish as "succeeded wildly."

And I still think there are massive career/impact/etc upgrades available to writing on the Internet, but I would tell you to probably not frame yourself as a "blogger" to go after them these days. (That probably wasn't advantageous back in the day, either.)

Yep. Circa 2007 I used to blog multiple times per month on minor daily issues. Today, that's a tweet or two that quickly disappears into the ether.

On the other side, the amount of work required to make / expected from a blog post is very high as well. This makes it harder to be a writer.
