Being 'stuck' in 2005 is exactly why I use Blogger for my blog posts. I don't post to get eyeballs, I don't have monetization turned on. I post (about mainly tech) for my future self, so that if I run into the same weird error or need to do the same thing again, I have it documented online; a place that I can access from any device with an internet connection. If others find my posts helpful, that's fantastic, but it's secondary.
I wanted a platform that I could log into, that was fast, non-intrusive, that I could link my own domain to, and that was 'stuck' in 2005. I don't need anything shiny and honestly, for most things people blog about, a site that exists in circa 2005 is more than enough.
As someone in IT tier 1/2/3 support, I and many peers would not be able to do our jobs without blogs like yours. If only people knew how many times we just google/ddg an error and end up on a blog with a fix.
