People do read it. The problem is that you have to consistently prove your content is worth their time for an awfully long stretch. I started my blog[1] back in 2019, and it wasn’t until after I published my 100th post in mid-2023 that some of my articles began hitting the front page of HN. For many, that’s just too long and not worth the effort.

In my case, I wrote because I enjoy writing and often reread my own posts. More than once, I’ve searched for something online only to have the search engine direct me right back to my own site.
