My firsthand experience suggests that linking to my blogs is not only not helpful, it has a huge downside. No good ever comes of it.

My most recent health blog is easy to find if anyone is genuinely interested. I have absolutely no reason to believe such interest exists.

I didn't make my comment to promote my blogs. I wish I knew how to promote my work and monetize it. I remain very poor and this is an ongoing source of stress in my life. But I don't know how to fix that. I see the current monetization schemes of health stuff as part of the problem. So to my mind that is a non starter.

I keep hoping someone will prove I am just stupid and it is possible to both do the right thing (in this specific domain) and also make money. But, so far, I am failing to find a path forward on that.

I wish I felt your suggestion was a good one. But 17 years of online drama suggests otherwise.

But unless you post data or link to a study things just devolve into anecdotal arguments and there doesn't seem to be any way to move forward (and no point in commenting).

I can't see any logical reason to agree with your standpoint based on what you've said...
