I wrote a blog so I could put it on job applications.

Yeah, blog posts take more effort than comments but they also tend to have more of a payoff for the writer. So there can be more ulterior motives at play in terms of trying to sell something or get attention.

The fact that someone has put more effort into a blog post doesn't necessarily translate into more value for me, the reader.
