blogging for the sake of blogging is not sustainable.
Blogs only thrive when the content creator provides value to the reader. When the creator shares content that people are looking to consume or creates products they want to purchase then a blog will thrive. That's true in the fiat world and on here.
Business models and good content creation needs to co-exist on the platform to give it diversity. The greater the diversity, the greater the appeal to the masses.
On another note, @steevc forgive my blatent promotion but when you mentioned voting for witnesses -- a great time to get an idea of what a Witness is about is when they participate in a chat. The next Witness Chat in the Steemit Ramble is Wednesday, Dec. 12th at noon EST / 5pm UTC. All witnesses are invited to take part as is the rest of the community. It had to be rescheduled when @ned rescheduled his livestream for the same time it was originally scheduled for (Tuesday at noon EST). That will work out okay though as we'll be able to discuss the livestream during the Witness chat.
I've been hosting these chat once a month for several months. Those attending find them interesting and informative. The link to the Steemit Ramble is in my signature.

I basically agree. I missed the last one because I basically forgot it was on the post SF3 scatterbrain phase, but I'll defo attend the next one.
They are well worth a listen and the feedback from that livestream should be especially interesting!
