I recognize a lot in this article. When looking at my designs, the ones I spent a lot of time on and make me really proud don't do well at all. Whereas a super simple one is my best seller. This can be a little confusing and frustrating. Same goes for articles here on Hive. Ofcourse, Hive is complex and your awesome article might just be posted at a time when no one is looking, making it go unnoticed, so that's something you learn to live with. It's something I have mostly learned to live with, although it can still frustrate me when I see a cat picture doing 10 times better than something I worked hard on. ;-)
