And the main reason why they don't get any traffic and no one gives a shit is because they're either not promoting it or they give up too quick.
On the not promoting it side of things, there is too much disdain for self promotion. It's often looked down upon to promote yourself. So some people won't do it because they dislike others doing it. Their refusual to self promote hurts them more than others. The people who do self promote have a higher chance of success because they told everyone about themselves.
The giving up too quickly side of things, it takes time to build up a following, to build a reputation. You're not going to get 1000 views daily on your blog overnight. I've written multiple high traffic blog posts that are widely linked to, translated into other languages and even then, I barely get 100 users a day on my site when I'm not actively promoting it and creating new content. Most of my blogs probably get 1000 users overall. Very few get 1,000 users in a day. Sure if I keep building up my content and I'm more consisent it'll eventually get to the point I'm getting 1,000 users a day. But it's going to take time. And most people aren't willing to invest that time.
