I’d say no, especially when considering the digital trends over the last five years. Content creators don’t care about what you read on their blogs anymore. They are more occupied with showing up on the first pages of search engines and earning CPC commissions. Of course, you can’t blame them, as SEO and affiliate marketing are sometimes more lucrative in the long run.
If you plan to blog about “something you love,” you’re better off merging it with affiliate marketing.
