Some days I get a little, well, dispirited. It seems to me that there is so little interest in history websites any more, I wonder if I would be better off mowing the lawn. There used to be a lot of websites, but so many of them have disappeared. The amateur sites just died out, helped by the onrush of new web technologies. Maintaining a site intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest is a tough game. There's no money in it. In today's constantly evolving digital landscape, where apps, messaging and social media platforms dominate, websites which educate are fading. 90% of all internet activities happen on the big boy's stage - You Tube, Facebook, Meta, Twitter - X, Instagram, or Google. Content and attention has shifted from tens of millions of web sites to a few centralized networks that people access via apps on their phones. People don't have time left to spend on my little website. Doing a website is like living in a lonely house at the edge of a forest, while everybody else is having a big party in the city nearby. My latest effort posted on Facebook.
