Blogs are an opportunity for people who lack other opportunities. Still, I can easily see how being inside at least some norm would be greatly beneficial. I know I am a freak, but I still struggle to find MY kind of freaks.
I guess the ideal blogger is just moderately freaky: too deviant to fit in to establishment mass media, but normal enough to fit in with, or even lead, an already established subgroup.
The sheer variety of blogs is of course hard to beat. But taking quality into account I often find it difficult to find anything worthwhile to read. Also, one should not underestimate the supply of magazines. Last year I had an app called Readly (go.readly.com), a self-appointed "Spotify for magazines". They give access to over 5000 magazines. Most of it is rubbish but the breadth of subjects is still impressive.
Thank you!
