This is not about an attention economy. It's not about not remembering your name or website. It's about there being no way to follow you.
Your content needs to be maybe three orders of magnitude better, to have the slightest chance of getting polled.
I would rather write a bot that scrapes your site and creates an RSS feed, than poll it manually.
A blog without an RSS feed is like a restaurant 20km away that's open one random hour a week. The food may be amazing, but I'll never eat there. 167 times out of 168 visits it'll be closed.
So even trying to visit that restaurant sounds like masochism.
If you write a blog, or open source, and hide it in a basement behind a door labelled "beware of the leopard", then it's just cause and effect that nobody will consume it.
It would be nice if there was a webring like mechanism in RSS feeds so that authors can personally recommend other RSS feeds. With a smart enough RSS reader, it can act as a simple web crawler finding potential feeds to recommend to the user based on recommendations of other RSS feeds.
