I can only speak for my own experience. I blog because I enjoy it and because it helps me stop repeatedly solving the same problems. It's essentially my long term memory published to a website. If it was only that and no-one read it, that would be fine. It has been going for more than 10 years now and I have no plans to stop. TBH I only really started looking at traffic in the last year and I'm gratified it gets a bunch. But honestly not for the topics I would imagine (and often hope for). The other useful aspect: writing about a topic flushes out my areas of ignorance and clarifies my thoughts. That's a useful exercise. https://blog.johnnyreilly.com/ https://blog.johnnyreilly.com/
