Is it worth using a blogspot blog these days?

[Grant]

I still have a few blogs using blogspot these days, but I rarely use the platform anymore for my blogs. I haven't updated said blogs in years and I've since just let them sit and die over the years.

Anyway, is it even worth using blogspot anymore to run blogs? I liked it in the past, but the way Google changed it, I didn't like it, and in turn I moved on from using it.

Who here still uses blogspot?

You just need to buy a domain and a template optimized for search engines
Blogspot blogs are still a popular choice for bloggers, and they can be a great platform for getting started with blogging. They are easy to set up, and you can customize the look and feel to fit your brand. Additionally, you can monetize your blogspot blog with ads, affiliate marketing, and sponsorships.

If your primary aim is to make money, you need a custom domain, if you want a site just to have fun and publish work, there is absolutely no necessary to buy a domain name. It is really difficult to get traffic to your free domain, including blogspot.

Blogspot, also known as Blogger, is a free blog-publishing platform that is owned by Google. While it is still a popular option for many users, there are a few factors to consider before deciding if it is worth using for your blog.
One of the biggest advantages of using Blogspot is that it is free and easy to use, making it a great option for beginners. Additionally, it is integrated with Google's other products and services, such as Google Analytics and AdSense, which can be useful for monetizing your blog.
However, there are some downsides to using Blogspot. One of the main drawbacks is that you do not have full control over the design and functionality of your blog, as you are limited to the templates and features provided by the platform. Additionally, Blogspot blogs may not be as customizable as other platforms, such as WordPress.
In summary, Blogspot can be a good option for beginners who want a free and easy-to-use platform, but it may not be the best option for more advanced users or those who want more control over the design and functionality of their blog.

Blogspot may not be the best choice for serious bloggers or businesses. Having a custom domain and more control over your website through a self-hosted platform like WordPress can improve your brand image, SEO, and flexibility.
