Blipping was originally done as an attempt to match the engine revs with the higher gearbox revs of the lower gear before letting the clutch out. This would put less stress on the old drive chain (not the final drive chain, but the primary drive and gearbox) which was a weakness back in the day. Little need nowadays with better engineered components and closer ratio gearboxes (we rode bikes with no more than 4 gears back in the no helmet law days).
Then.....and now......
Then.....and now......
when in doubt go flat out
