If the only viewer of my blog posts is myself (and often times it is), then I'd still keep writing if only just to keep a public journal of my thought process and things that I accomplished at certain times in my life.


to be fair, that could be called a diary. I would guess the average person thinking about publishing in public thinks about other people seeing it.


Also fair, but most of the time the other people are a few close friends. I'm not trying to keep it a secret like a diary but I'm also not trying to get incredibly popular like a content creator or famous blogger.


Same here.
