I glanced at this. Didn't bother to read through it. I would like to point out, however, that you clearly don't know the difference between a blogger and a writer. I am not a blogger, and I have never been a blogger. I have been a published writer on three continents for 60 years.

Medium is a content writing site - not a blog site. Learn the difference.
Next, the list of writers you mention are not people whose writing I admire. I certainly know that English literature classes have been brainwashing students for centuries that these are wonderful poets and writers.
The fact that I disagree, and the fact that most of the world disagrees, does not make me ignorant of what writing or poetry is. Disagreeing with the status quo about something doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about .
When I was 12 years old, one of my poems was circulated through schools in my home town by a speech and drama teacher. She thought it that good. It was also published a year later. If you read through the following piece, you will see a screenshot of a handwritten note from a teacher who says my poetry is 'very, very good.'

The entire concept of what literature is needs to be revised. When my daughter was 10 years, she couldn't read. I taught her. How? By reading her Enid Blyton's books for three nights in a row. After that, she grabbed the books and taught herself to read. By time she was 14, she was reading books about astrophysics.
When I asked her years later why she had struggled to read, she said that the books her teachers 'taught' were boring and stupid. Perhaps that is why only 5% of people actively read all the time.
I failed English in my final year at school. That is hilarious. It's the only subject I have ever failed, and the only time I have ever failed. At the time, I had already been published for 7 years. In addition, a few months later, a piece of mine won first place in a national writing competition. The guy who judged it was the marketing director of the biggest newspaper group in the country. He said, "That is the finest piece of writing I have seen in 20 years."
But I failed English.
So here's the thing. Perhaps it's not that I don't know squat. Perhaps it's simply that I dare to say that the emperor has no clothes.

I'll leave it at that.
Addendum
You might also consider that the only reason these 'poets' and 'writers' sell is because universities and schools use them as text books. The general reading public does not buy them. In fact, literary publishers make very little money, and some are now beginning to close down. The public loves commercial fiction.
It's writers like Agatha Christie, Jane Austin (commercial fiction in her day), Rider Haggard, Edgar Rice Burrroughs, Geoffrey Jenkins, Leon Uris, Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, James Patterson, etc. who make people want to read.
The likes of Ulysses and the other bs writers who are lauded by the 'literary' establishment are not unread because the majority of readers are ignorant, but rather because they recognise boring drivel when they read it.
As a psychologist, perhaps you might like to ask yourself why happy people wouldn't want to read someone like Sylvia Plath. Perhaps the only reason some writers are lauded are because the kind of people who lose themselves in depressing reads are because they are depressed - not because they are educated readers.
