@darius I get your point, but there are a lot of links around the Internet to blogs that are long gone. Plus, blogs are only barely searchable because of Google, and Google is getting shittier by the day and general web-search results are only getting more polluted with SEO trash.
If formatting something in LaTeX and generating a PDF and uploading it to Arxiv gets it a DOI and makes it available to someone who is searching a legitimate database in 10 or 15 years' time... maybe that's what more people should be doing.
It'd be nice if there were some Arxiv-like solution for people without a connection to academia, though that obviously reopens the spam problem if there's not some barrier to entry and a strong reputational system.
