I hope it’s not too controversial of an opinion, but the audience for written long form software engineering content is very small.
In the 70s through the mid 90s, before the WWW v1.0 bubble taught the world you could get rich quick in software, there was a greater appetite to, say, take your time working your way through an article on a new technique in C. Now the vast majority of people just want copy/paste Python code examples from Stack Overflow. At most they may suffer through a brief video tutorial.
Part of this is not some “kids these days” sort of reason, but the reality that most code is much more short lived than ever before.
