I so identify with the linked blogger’s story. He spends years writing intelligent, well-argued posts but the only thing of his that goes viral is a tweet that pleases helicoptering parents:
I know the feeling and I can commiserate. It’s always the silliest little thing (like the infamous tree test) that will attract crowds while the really brilliant stuff will languish unnoticed. It would be so much more useful for people to read my posts on the collapse of the nation-state than to do the stupid tree test. But very few go for the smarter option.
