Yes , you are.

The large volume of off topic posts you make makes it more likely that
people who want to make on topic posts will avoid the relevant groups.
I mean I can imagine people taking a short look on  comp.programming ,
seeing the avalanche of drivel (not just by you) and decide that the
group is effectively dead.

Please stop posting off topic stuff here and on  comp.programming.threads .
What you are doing is treating  comp.programming , comp.programming.threads
and possibly other groups as your blog. Creating a usenet based blog is a
perfectly reasonable idea and one I may do myself one day but it's not the
same as taking over a preexisting group for this purpose.

So here is a suggestion for you :

    From: tskirvin@killfile.org (Tim Skirvin)
    Newsgroups: news.admin.hierarchies,news.admin.censorship,alt.config,news.groups,free.control,free.hipcrime,free.answers,alt.answers,news.answers
    Subject: The free.* FAQ (version 2.0.1)
    Followup-To: alt.config,free.control
    Date: Fri, 01 Jul 2022 00:04:02 +0000
    Expires: Fri, 12 Aug 2022 00:04:02 GMT
    Message-ID: <freenet.faq.20220701000402$12ab@news.killfile.org>
{
 3.  Can I make my own group?

        Certainly.  Just post a message that looks something like this
(headers and all):

Newsgroups: free.control,free.fishhead
Subject: cmsg newgroup free.fishhead
Approved: mumy@fishhead.fish    
Control: newgroup free.fishhead
From: roly@poly.com (Fish Head)

For your newsgroups file:
free.fishhead           Eat them up, yum!

        There's no guarantee that anybody will carry your group, of course, 
but at least you tried.  Better names will probably ensure that more servers 
will carry your group, so you might want to put some thought into it.
}
Why don't you use the above method to create  free.blog.ramine ? But you
would have to use a proper newsreader or a programming library to form
an appropriate message and post it , googlegroups won't do it. Since you
claim to be good in programming , it shouldn't be a problem.

Since I read usenet regularly , if it dies , I will notice it myself , I
don't need to read it in some article. The article is from June 2011 and says
"I haven't been to a newsgroup in nearly ten years" .This tells you how
seriously it should be taken. The reasoning provided why usenet is dead is
idiotic. The only good thing in the article is that it gives the link
https://today.duke.edu/2010/05/usenet.html .In that link we read the
following puzzling statement : "Duke decided to retire its aging Usenet
server based on low usage and rising costs." .Why not replace it with a newer
server ? With the advances in computer hardware , running a usenet server
should be getting (way) cheaper rather than more expensive.
