I have no idea, can't really say much because I've written posts that I thought would do well that did abysmally and others that I posted and wasn't entirely happy with that did better so I really don't know. I think you just need to write for the love of writing and hope for the best. Kinda like the lottery 🤣
Yeah, I'm sure part of it is just differences in people's tastes/interests but that still doesn't explain all the seeming randomness to it sometimes. My relationship with writing is more of a love/hate one. Still, I write what pleases me and hope others like it rather than the other way round. Pretty sure it'd be enough to drive one mad if you tried to do it any other way.
Indeed 🤣
