Great piece. It is a little strange how the zeitgeist has lifted and altered over the last 20 years.
I too know the cathartic feeling of sitting down and writing only for the writing to be unseen or untouched by others.
Its sometimes even harder when even in a protocol like nostr, where everyone espoused v4v, you put forth so much effort yet no value finds it's way to you.
I blame it on the nascency. Most people don't yet know what they might enjoy. Until then, "we got our own problems to deal with"
