Good post! I also post about things I enjoy. I dislike the idea that every online content is made as part of a competition with the only goal of getting bigger numbers, online content and social interaction (/social media) don't have to be a competition.

Nonetheless, getting zero views is definitely demotivating. But by keeping at it, you will learn what can increase this number, and also what increases this number in a way that you care about.

I found it immensely joyful to share and talk about content I had made with friends, or bringing it to them when relevant. So don't overfocus on how many people see it, but rather who.
