I enjoy it when my writing is read. And HN, Lobsters, and Reddit give me an outlet for tech writing. But there's no similar outlet for other writing like if I want to write about cooking or product management or parks in NYC. Most non-tech subreddits have super strict self promotion rules that means you can't ever share your own posts. Not that reddit is so friendly in general anyway. I have a small personal audience and sometimes they read these other posts. But it's not as much fun in these cases. So I've been trying to think about how to write about other topics and my only conclusion is that you have to target bigger existing magazines or sites. But there feels like a huge barrier to entry for contributing to these sites. They're very intimidating. I've reached out to a few smaller outlets and never gotten a response. So that's kind of demotivating. So yeah it's easy and enjoyable to blog but in terms of getting anyone to see what you produce... I agree with others here that videos and YouTube seem to be one of the best spots for producing stuff that people actually see, on more diverse topics than just tech.
