i disagree with a lot of this. there's enough incorrect and duplicate rubbish on the internet without encouraging more of it.
In the old days - before narcissism became an acceptable personality trait - people were encouraged to think, learn, research and be original before subjecting the world to their writings.
To paraphrase Rich Hickey, The only people entitled to say how blogs 'ought' to work are people who run blogs, and the scope of their entitlement extends only to their own projects. Just because someone blogs something does not imply they owe the world accuracy, originality, interest or education.
As a reader of a blog you are not thereby entitled to anything at all. You are not entitled to contribute. You are not entitled to depth. You are not entitled to be the intended audience. You are not entitled to gain value from the blog.

And your complaint can be easily dismissed by noting that the article author blogs about things she's learned, and that reading all existing content to see what is original is impossible.
I imagine that my generation is far from the one you're talking about. Could you elaborate more on what it was like "in the old days," what has changed, and what you miss? Or is it hard to put your finger on?
