I think this is a trap a lot of blog-posters and similar fall into. You’re not motivated by writing itself being fun, you’re motivated by the desire for attention. The former you can control, the latter you cannot. The boring answer would be “keep writing, 10% of the posts get 90% of the views, maybe you’ll get lucky next time”. This is kind of true but also kind of gambler’s fallacy.
If I were you, I’d decide on a specific number of further posts to write and if nothing gets any traction, I’d simply stop and move on to something else. I don’t know if that’s possible for you, maybe your addiction is more debilitating. But those are my 2c.
I’m not sure if it is on purpose or just going along with the spirit of the post, but your comment seem to me more insulting than it have to be in order to deliver your explicit message. “The desire for attention” is not how I think about it, but it may very well be the case. If the reference to addiction is based serious and based on the data I have—please let me know.
