End of HTML blink tag

Recently I have read a news which said "Firfox 23 nixes support for outdated blink HTML tag". Google'Chrome, Apple's Safari, and Opera have all abandoned the tag. 

I reached to the internet since 2000s so seldom could I see it in the web. It makes me consider why it is abandoned. The reason is that overusing this tag makes people annoying.

However, it is only the end of blink html tag, not the end of blink in the internet.
