Edit: leaving up as an embarrassing reminder to myself fully rtfm before opening my mouth. I thought this did NOT have comments and sub by email but it does. Glad y’all provided me with some feedback to realize I was wrong. —- Original comment: I don’t get it. If you want to write and don’t care how much you’re read, write privately (Google Docs, a journal, text file, etc.) If you’re writing publicly presumably it’s…

I see where you’re coming from, but I personally love blogging with zero concern for who reads it, how many likes it gets, or whether or not people want to give feedback.

It prevents me from falling into a trap of crafting posts that have a bias toward what I think people might want to read, it keeps it pure.

Private feedback via email is always possible and you can chose to publish specific feedback you deem important. It's the same for printed literature. There is no comment section in books. As for sharing: you can always share the URL

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe consider that you're not their target audience.

I’m trying to understand who the target audience is. Phrasing my comment a slightly different way: what’s the point of writing *in public* if you don’t get feedback?

Too much feedback (especially when it comes to sharing your own thoughts) poisons the purity.

It’s a cliche that every musicians best work is their early stuff. Once you become popular, famous, entangled in expectations and opinions, you lose the thing that made you great.

You are misrepresenting it: Not caring about numbers/analytics isn't "no feedback". People can still leave comments, email, ...

And the usefulness of writing isn't connected to if people can reach the author or not.

Looks great! I will try it out. Thank you for sharing.

The pricing seems to be very fair and something that i would pay to support the project.

addition: i wonder how non mainstream opinions are moderated there, e.g. conspiracy theories, pro Russian content, pro Chinese content, etc.
