It's just too much effort for too little recognition.
I dunno, you started off very cryptically. This is the most conversation I've seen out of you. #45thworldproblems was interesting, but after repeated attempts to engage (from my recollection anyway) and getting little interaction, it's pretty obvious why interest ebbed. This site is all about interaction. If you don't play, no one will play back.
That project annoyed the shit out of me and I found it pretentious as all hell. I mean, maybe you find my poetry jazz pretentious as all hell so we're even, but if you wanna know why people were turned off, maybe I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Maybe the problem is that you were driving for recognition in the first place. In addition, as I recall, at least one of your posts blew up and was badged, and people began to explore other posts under your tag as a result. In general I noticed your posts ticking up my feed for some time. I'll admit their popularity seemed relatively short-lived but you could have also worked to prevent or mitigate that, I guess. Personally, I thought you were posting too prolifically, too enigmatically, and too ostentatiously, but don't take my advice on it - for some reason, even though about two people read my blog unless it's a really, really good post, that doesn't stop me from putting it up there anyway. You should post things because you want to share them (or, for AskHubski, get feedback/opinion/whatever). You shouldn't post for attention.
