Yeah but you don't get eyeballs with that anymore unless you have something really unique.
When the web was new you could get a lot of hits with static content. It is not so easy to do that now.

Not a lot of people had computers with Internet back then. So sure, you can’t captivate the same percentage of the entire World Wide Web - but why would you expect that to be a reasonable assumption?
Sure, in a world where the web was a couple million nerds you’d expect your content to be a bit more visible.
But the web is measured in billions of users now.
I would also suggest that writing content just to ensure that people read it is looking at it the wrong way. That’s a shallow popularity contest. If the production of that content doesn’t bring you satisfaction on its own then it doesn’t matter whether you have 1 view or a million, it’s not making you happy.
If you are producing content for yourself and it makes you happy then you don't need to put it in public view. The whole point of the internet is to interact, share your work and see others' work.
