Lots of people throughout history - with names that are well-known today - have written at length about topics for which, in their day, the audience was very small. Herodotus, for one early example. Same is true for scores of important discoveries.
The audience for complex math proofs is very small. At first. Same applies to a lot of creative works ... paintings, photos, poetry. van Gogh sold almost nothing.
A composer once asked me 'what do you care more about - how many are listening, or who is listening?"
Amazing how many blogs have shut off their feedback.
