I think the posts main mistake is expecting the reader to care about or know this author.

About their ongoing availability of their personal website (that does have some audience, however niche), the author states

> As for what the future holds for whitep4nth3r, I’m actually not sure. I know I’m not that important in this vast and strange ever-evolving world; I know this won’t affect many people in the grand scheme of things, but I’m sure some of you will be wondering if I’ll still be around.

So I'm not sure your criticism makes any sense

I don't know anything about the author, but they seem rather humble, not giving "do you know who I am" vibes at all, the writing is very humanizing, raises many good and relatable points. I enjoyed reading the whole text without being familiar with the author and context. I only wish them luck and happiness.

I expect the post is written for readers who care about or know the author.

She linked to it on her social media and got the word out to people that know her. I don't think she expected it to 'break containment' like this.

It is also a post located on her own personal website, which naturally contains information about herself and is focussed around herself.

I don't think there is any 'mistake' here.

It’s a personal website…

Jeesh guys, if you don't care, why did you comment or read it?

I personally thought the post was quite interesting and I honestly felt a strong desire to subscribe. It's a shame they're shutting down.

What did you expect, though?
