I've learnt this the hard way. The most important thing is to get you to click.
Sometimes I'll first iterate over the title before even writing on substack.
I have learned that too. If you write about C, almost no one clicks. It is not new, it is not flashy, and it does not promise easy results. Yet almost everything still runs on it. The quiet parts of computing rarely get attention, even though they keep everything working.
I still write about C anyway. It may not trend, but it lasts.
Oh, and I just submitted a link to my article about C. I am pretty sure no one will click it.
Articles about C never get much traffic, but that is fine. I wrote it because I care about how things really work, not because I expect it to trend. If even a few people read it and see the beauty in the old language that still runs the world, that is enough.
Honestly this (the fact it is being massively upvoted) looks a lot more like paid promotion. Not the first time and not the only example of submission btw.
