I would not abandon blogging; I would raise the bar. Write fewer generic posts and more useful pages connected to tools, reviews, case studies, and Q&A. A standalone 800-word article is easier for AI to replace than a page with interaction and real user input.
Is blogging still useful for SEO, or should brands make tools and communities instead?

A lot of blogs feel like AI-written filler now. Would a small site be better off building calculators, quizzes, Q&A pages or community content?

Answers & Discussion
Community content is becoming more valuable because it contains real experiences and long-tail questions. A blog post gives one answer. A discussion page gives many perspectives. That can be powerful if moderated well. The risk is spam and low-quality replies, so quality control matters.
Blogs still help, but tools create stronger reasons to visit and return. A calculator, comparison quiz, checklist, or template solves a problem directly. Blog posts can explain the problem, while tools help users act. The best sites combine both.
