I don't have any data on if having a personal site have rollercoastered in popularity or usage. But I do feel pretty strongly that it's a good idea.
I think it's a mistake to not have a personal site and a mistake to not own your own content. There are a lot of people on Earth, and having a personal site for yourself is probably the best way there is to make yourself known and stake a little claim for yourself. That's where content you create should be put, even if it also goes elsewhere.
I'm not particularly worried about this comment I'm writing right now (as far as "content creation" goes), but anything that's a complete thought of mine I like to make sure I have published somewhere that I own. I feel like living breathing proof it's a good idea.

Hi Chris, what you do think about the comeback (have they ever gone?) of the personal websites? This owning-your-content 'thing'?
Sorry if it's a too broad question.
