Yeah, no one seems to read academic work except for maybe some people who can give you a job with a salary!

Ah yes, there is that little factor, if you can use it to get job then that's a different matter altogether!
I did start a PhD many years ago, quit due to financial reasons - I remember how painful having to write in 'academic' was - it just wasn't natural.
I much prefer a looser style!
Yep! It's a lot easier to churn out 2k words on these kind of platforms than 6k words for a journal article. Ironically, about the same number of people will read the stuff here and for way less effort!
However, it's a nice challenge that is intellectually rewarding and potentially career rewarding (in the long run). At least that's what I hope!
It's quite an intellectual place this!
Hope the career works out, I'm sure it will!
