It is not the medium that is dying, rather it is the content that is dying. People are saying the web is dying because there's no longer financial incentive for actual humans to create content (there may be other incentives, and those types of forms may flourish). That goes equally for other media as well: print, digital, it doesn't matter.

There's an incentive to create content, but it's skewed towards video (or towards creating content of any sort when you already have a fan base).

Trying to create a fan base with the written word in 2025 is probably a bad idea.
