The more work you put into something, especially if it was very difficult and you were uniquely qualified, the less likely it is that anyone cares. It just becomes more niche.
Most of the times when I put effort into something, nobody cares. That's okay, it just puts an upper bound on how much effort I do before it's not worth the chance of reward. Other times I slap together a page in 2 minutes and thousands of actual people click through, more people than I could ever really get to know.
Good stuff does get higher quality attention than low effort stuff, but that doesn't mean good stuff necessarily resonates with more people. Being prepared for little traction, especially if you put a lot of work into something, is unfortunately the best expectation to have, until you get a feeling for how likely something is to succeed and you also get some intuition for what works (though, even then, it fails most of the time). The trick is to keep putting things out there anyway and not give up.
