answer:You could try asking some of them. The lower the traffic they have, the more likely they may be to notice and respond to your question. But it seems to me that sometimes the purpose could require as little audience as oneself, one’s friends or acquaintances, or just anyone who might find it interesting. I have often read blogs on technical or niche topics, which are just trying to share with anyone with similar interests, even if it’s only a few people. Like some annoying bug, or some obscure or just not particularly popular topic. And of course, I’ve seen many of your and other ask-public posters contributing a blogsworth of content here, and a lot of it’s just jokes and idle curiosity. Narcissism per se is a pretty steep charge, particularly as the only alternative on the table. (I might suppose an actual narcissist would be inclined to be the sort who would require 10,000 views per month to deign to share his information, though even then that wouldn’t directly indicate narcissism for a person who has that attitude.) I’m still pretty surprised at the “it has to be shared with others, and as many as possible, to be of any value” concept. Seems to me that’s just one measure of value, certainly not the only one. Even the bloggers who are trying to gain a very large audience, might be doing it as an experiment or attempt to succeed at that. It would make sense for such people to give up if/when they aren’t satisfied with their statistics.
