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.

Just writing knowing that someone might read it inspires better writing. It's like when you think about a problem really hard, come up with nothing, then spend an hour formulating a perfect StackExchange question. More often than not, the process of writing for other people leads me to the answer, even without sending the question.

Same with blogging, except I can publish any old crap on my blog without moderation.
