W4 - Blogging? Meh. Tiktok and Instagram? Sounds about right.
For a 00s baby, I don’t actually search for blogs on the internet nor do I write them. So it’s clear to say that this is my first blog. I may not know much about blogging, but I do know what’s vlogging xD.
So, blogging. From what I understand about blogging, it’s where one writes a short or a long paragraph on a situation, someone sharing their opinion or just simply sharing photos. To compare blogging with Tiktok and Instagram, Tiktok and Instagram appears to be more interesting I guess.
The reason why I believe that is because Tiktok is filled with videos with many different kinds of content such as fun challenges, pranks, weirdly satisfying videos and many more.
As for Instagram, it is where people post aesthetic and “perfect” photos. Not only that, Instagram has added new features such as stories and reels instead of just photos and videos on their feed.
Which is why, I believe that blogging is not relevant in the times of Tiktok and Instagram (which is right now).
Hadian(2021) says that blogging may not be completely forgotten in today’s societies. Instead, he claims that people has replace blogging with social media platform today. That does not necessarily means that blogging is forgotten because they have turned to social media platforms to share their contents, photos and videos (social media platforms such as FaceBook, YouTube, Instagram, etc). However, long paragraphs after paragraphs are not often seen or posted on today’s most used social media platform. <https://www.virlan.co/education/what-has-replaced-blogging-is-blogging-still-relevant-in-2021/>.
