There is Mirror.xyz that is growing fast. It's practical to use if you want to monetize your content. Payments are enabled by blockchain tech (Optimism/Ethereum). It's becoming a challenger of Substack in the web3/crypto ecosystem.

Blogs with photos and videos are being replaced by Vlogs hosted on primarly video-based platforms. À la YouTube, TikTok, Instagram. But these content distribution platforms promote short videos because of users's short attention span.

I think that people who like traditional blogs (i.e.: long reads) won't become attracted to those visual blogging forms. Substack and Medium used good strategies to onboard them.
