I don't. But I have a local Friend who is running a regional language blog since 2018 and earns a decent amount of money from it still.

yes but since major changes are underway you have to constantly adapt and be up to date on everything that's going on. kind of exhausting, not so much fun these days as it was when I started

I only make a small amount from sites now, but I hope that will change once I rebuild the new authority sites I developed a couple of years ago, just need more digital asset content on them all, and non-ai! lol
I did get an amazing day for a blog the other day compared to normal days, maybe 100% increase, so I know google is still bouncing thing around, and maybe even more rapidly than before, as I had 15%+ returning visitors. ONly earned $0.49 from it, lol but it reminded me I should keep going, as I have potential for all my sites to be really good if I can keep working on them long term

There has been a downfall. But you need to adapt accordingly.

Hard to rank for anything in this massively AI-Automated websites market nowadays... Would be interesting to see what's it gonna end up like in a few years and if the AI content will be pushed forwards or fought against.
I think google will just implement AI into its search engine at some point to satisfy easy search queries and other AI content will be at the bottom of the results. No need to have to go through 20 - "what to check when buying used car" or "how to optimize SEO" articles and trying to grasp everything, that should be the job of AI.

I have also started exploring other ways to make money. Blogging has become very saturated now.
I've been blogging since 2008 (full time since 2010) so even when I think I want to leave blogging altogether I come up with a new site idea and get stuck in! I definitely don't rely solely on Google for traffic these days though. I've had some great results with Pinterest and other social media, plus building a list is a must (if you're in the right niche). I put off email marketing for far too long but it has been the making of my business. Diversification is key to success in blogging. There was a time when Wordpress and Google were all you needed but it's not like that anymore.

In fact, it's not easy for anyone to promote blogs nowadays. The strongest ones have kept their traffic at the same level, but most sites have seen a drop in traffic. However, if you have a good idea and expertise in a certain area, you can see how it goes.

It's possible if you have unique and user friendly content then your answer is Yes.

Yes, you can still earn from blogging.
Social media has made it so it’s possible to reach many people from any given niche with some effort.
Create your blog and create shorts, reels, TikToks, and YouTube videos about every blog post you make.
Put forth real effort and you will succeed.

Yep, still have a few successful ones, but wouldn't recommend building a new site today!
The entire eco structure is in chaos. Everything is too hit and miss.
The time, money and effort required just doesn't make sense at the moment.
Which is shame. Building out niche sites has been my bread and butter for years.
Easier money elsewhere!

I do.
Not as much as I'd like because it's a very secondary activity for me. But for something that takes me one or two hours a week, it's pretty decent.
I use Adsense and I've just added affiliate links with something specialised in my niche to diversify my income.

I'm still only getting started on the blogging side of my business. One year in and I'm making a small amount of money. It's been more of a hobby and testbed for my AI work.
On the plus side, since I'm coming up during all these horrible Google updates, I don't have the emotional baggage of remembering how things used to work and being frustrated that they aren't anymore as I watch my sites burn.
Also, fuck Google.
Edit: My recent revelation is that I actually do care about the subject of one of my blogs, and have finally started writing for my readers, as many many people have advised.
