The author started a blog but has considered stopping due to lack of readership. Though few may read the blog, writing it can serve as notes for the future, help release and clarify ideas, and give a sense of freedom. Even if the ideas are not original, sharing one's personal view can enrich them. Ultimately, the author decides to publish the post regardless of who may read it.

Do you maintain a blog? Are you getting value out of the practice?

I maintain one. I think of it more as a personal journal.

I semi-maintain one and use it for a similar reason. I mainly use to document one I'm doing with my Homelab. I also write mini reviews on some games I finish. But I write it as if it's for an audience, even though no one actually reads it (though anyone can).

I probably only post like 3x a year since I'm super lazy with my Homelab and only finish a handful of games each year.
