Because people don't go surfing on the web anymore, they stay in the same facebook-twitter-instagram-netflix-amazon-reddit loop forever.

False, while you try to make this a moral point, the reality is where the audiences go the content goes.

There's still plenty of audience for blog posts. The blogosphere (god I hate that term) hasn't grown at the pace of social media, certainly, but that doesn't matter. And in some ways I'd probably consider that a good thing for the medium.

I’m sorry to belabor this but you probably don’t know how growth and death cycles work.

Every day people churn in and out. As more churn out for audiences less new ones come in. Therefore it dies.

I think maybe you could just reread this as you being informed by someone who worked on this for many many years at internet scale.

It’s ok to have less knowledge or be misinformed about something. We all are. It’s not ok to respond to that with insecurity and insults.
