Why do I write this?

But Bear, ...

I like the simplicity and formatting of this blog site. But in all honesty, the low chance of interaction with others is beginning to bother me. Yes, I know I can "buy up" or "submit for review" so that my posts have the possibility of appearing in the "discover feed" or maybe even a search engine (with trillions-to-one probability of being seen there). I don't need thumbs up or stars or any of that clutter, but someone seeing what I do and being supportive of it would be nice. I think we'd all like that, wouldn't we?
What I'm saying is that somewhere between utter anonymity and so much traffic even the AI search engines can't keep up there has to be some sort of balanced amount of 'small community' exposure.
I just don't know where that is.
