Where I draw the income/cost attribution boundary of ribbonfarm among my various activities is of course a bit arbitrary. I could add ebook $ on the income side for eg. or mailchimp on cost side. I've deliberately kept it simple: affiliate earnings > hosting charges = good.
I might be done with hands-on experimentation with new models and piggyback on stuff like Roam and Substack. We'll see. It does feel to me like blogging as such is over, and wordpress has become more a high-end CMS for businesses and things

I think it's gonna evolve. "over" feels like too strong a statement to me. Maybe this era of blogging is over. If you kill ribbonfarm you could become the hero of the next era

I think substack and roam are two poles of the shift to the next thing... solid serialized content vs. solid hypertextual content... barbell. WP is caught in the middle as not great at either.
