Lainey and Go Fug Yourself are not lifestyle or "personal" blogs, they are focused on celebrity red carpet style and, in Lainey's case, gossip and how gossip reflects society at large. It's more difficult to maintain a lifestyle/family blog because life can get stagnant and there is a line that you have to decide early on over how much you are willing to share and if you want pull that line in later in your blog life, your readership often turns on you. If you are constantly projecting a patina of perfection when that perfection is marred, you are often pilloried for "lying" or concealing the less savory portions of your life. I can see how people can get burned out on that and give up on it entirely.
