I think he's getting at something important. I started writing for the same reason basically. But wish there was a way to network my writings with other people's writings.

Maybe I just need to build a social media following (probably on Twitter)?

I miss the community of bloggers in the old days... there was these groups of people often cross-referencing and reacting to each other in the form of essays. No particular hierarchy, just an amorphous conversation

Yeah, I prefer the discussions via essay format as well. Instead of the quick meme reactions. I guess it's good for comedy and being edgy, but not really for high quality ideas. I vaguely recall seeing a Show HN of a discovery tool for personal blogs, but don't think it really took off. Sad to see.
