Very sad to see that the wider, mainstream, internet still basically hates bloggers. I remember when blogger was a sneer back in like early 2003. And yet! most, ahem, blogs, I know have better writing, better journalism, and better ethics than journalists do. I'd love to know how the elites were successful in getting people to hate people with their own websites.

For real! If you weren't online in 2003, somehow, big tech, industries, and even celebrities and politicians somehow got the public to believe that someone that wrote on their own website was this shameful nobody that could never make it in the writing world. Meanwhile, the blogger spent hours personalizing their website, learning HTML, all those skills those very same people that sneered don't have.

Were there gossip blogs? Yes, but even they had at least better website design!

Owning your own website was a sign of failure back then, for some reason. And now, look where that's gotten us?
