Can you elaborate what's low quality about it?

More generic / not unique content, in a domain commonly associated with blogspam.

  It reads like a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy where whatever was interesting about the original was lost.

A lack of high quality. This is a good blog https://www.righto.com/ https://www.righto.com/ Ken started out doing very run of the mill projects with Arduino but writing about it with heart and he became an electronics genius who takes apart chips with microscopes. (e.g. going from discrete logic and/or C to making and understanding microchips is like going from model rockets to moon rockets) Just the selection of topic ("Startups") is bad. If you told real war stories or a compelling story from beginning to end it's one thing. As it is, your content is generic and doesn't say anything fresh or significant at all. It is like pornography that never gets to the money shot. I find the content about anxiety cringeworthy. Oh, you found it was helpful to meditate three minutes a day. How nice. I have struggled with anxiety, it has had profound effects on my career, my relationships and my body. I've made discoveries about it that are hard won and that are frankly beyond the pale. Some of those things I can't talk about because I'm afraid of getting arrested or sounding insane or like I am confabulating. I could not find some of my discoveries in western psychology and found out later that they were common knowledge in China 1000 years ago. There are things I couldn't do to save my life for decades where I then made a breakthrough that was like magic or science fiction. (Could anybody else replicate it? Would anybody else care? I don't know.) The glib nonsense you write is worthless to me. Most of all there is the fact that you're mystified that you're not connecting with an audience. Meditate on that for 3 days or 3 years and you might be enlightened. Go look at compelling business writers such as Eliyahu M. Goldratt, Clayton Christensen, Phil Crosby, and Jim Collins.
