We stand alone, that's true. You seem to take that as a sign of strength. Could it be the other way around, a sign of weakness? If there was demand/need for what we do, there would be enough users to populate this platform and others - we'd have competition. But as you say, there's no competition. Maybe it's because there's actually very limited demand for blog sites that pretend to compensate content-creators.
