I’m still writing mine (taoofmac.com), for nearly 20 years now. Tone and content changed (following my hobbies now, mostly), pace changed (from daily to once a week), but it’s still there.
I think the main issue these days is that people have either become more focused on short form content or on relentless promotion of fluff. Once blogs became a corporate thing, a lot of objectivity (and usefulness) was lost.
On the other hand, there are still plenty of people out there writing about niche technology topics with a lot of quality.
They’re just not on Medium or any of the usual content mills.
