I was chatting about a related topic with my wife today. The premise was that there are many technology related blogs and not enough blogs about obscure topics (e.g., chocolate, woodworking). People interested in those obscure topics struggle to find genuine information because very few people are writing about them, much less making any content about them.

I think most of us in the technology field tend to forget just how many resources are out there for technical topics and often see blogging as a waste of time or a "whisper in the hurricane" when we should be encouraging people to keep writing about technical topics and more.

There's a lot of Tiktok accounts for woodworking, but, yeah, unsure how persistent or informative those may be.

And also how searchable it is. The great thing with blogs for me is that I can relatively quickly skip to the part where the information is that I want, because usually I don't need all of it.

Admittedly I do subscribe to a woodworking YouTube channel but I would love more written content for the reasons you describe about skipping and skimming.
