and sometimes the things you think aren't interesting, are interesting to other folks. I stumbled into the vidalia onion industry, and randomly wrote an essay on it, and wound up discovering other folks liked the story. HN is a blessing in this way - it helps expose these fringe stories that'd never see the light of day in normal print/web publications.
- yesenadam 5y agoYes! I've got a website with pages on a variety of subjects, and the most visited pages are on the most obscure topics, that I wouldn't have imagined anyone would ever be interested in. I guess those pages appear in a google search. If I was starting over, I'd just write on super-obscure topics. The more obscure the topic, the less "competition", the more often someone reads it.
