To make your blog popular, the first suggestion bloggers give is to have a “theme” to which readers will have a magnetic effect. Why would someone want to read your blog? And, when they do read, why should that person return the next day?
But, my question is a little consequential, why would you want your blog to be popular?
To me, having a popular blog does not mean good content. And, even good content does not mean a popular blog. Now, in my case, I prefer to work towards “good content” no matter how many thousands think otherwise. This is the sense I believe in, otherwise I would have a theme already for my blog. Except for the fact that there is story-telling, I don’t think my blog has ANY common theme across these articles.
If having fun is a theme, I’ve set that to myself and the blog. I’ll try to make sense out of this – and only if it means good to my writing. Otherwise, we’ll stick to watching Rick and Morty.
I agree with you. I write because I want to… if my audience agrees or likes it, that’s great, and if not, it’s still my thoughts and it’s still okay to put them out there. Authenticity is key, I think. Be true to yourself and the rest shall follow. And definitely have fun! Life is too short.

Yes. And, I guess every reader wants ‘honesty’ to switch back to in a world of crisis that’s been going on for ages now.

I think that too strictly adhering to a “theme” throttles creativity. I do follow some that only write about one thing, but they are not the ones I read everyday, comment on, and enjoy the most. We are consumers as well as producers.
