Why even bother?

we'll read it
i'll read it if it's any good. Remember there's always hope in posthumous appreciation too. Or in the worst case, your descendants will be interested in what you wrote: my grandfather wrote a book about his time in WW2 which no one would have any interest in, but I do.
You have to write for yourself.
If you don't enjoy it then fuck off.
Did he publish it? I'm curious now
No one reads literature anyway so posthumous appreciation isn't going to happen. I'm also not going to have any descendants. Why write?
Listen to this fellow.Art made with intent to get views is worsened.
This is literally true, today more than ever thanks to the demonization of the white man. You are FUCKED for even thinking you have a chance.

to hold it in your hands

no one's forcing you to write if you think it's pointless. In fact it's probably better:
"Most people have a book in them, and for the most part that's where it should stay."
Publish it and convince yourself people will find out how incredible your texts are after your death. It won't matter then.
Can we read it?
Publishing is prostitution
-Pessoa
Prostitution pays the bills.
No one's going to read my book either but I'm still writing it because the book I write afterwards will be read by everyone.
Maybe you should write something better then.
