TFW you have about ten different papers worth of research avenues you could follow and you really don't want to do the work on any of them.

But there are no incentives set up for to put effort into anything that won’t lead to a publication. So somehow you have to pick one and put all your energy into the one that optimizes something like interest/effort. It’s not great.

Yeah, I'm not a fan. Part of the problem is that without the venue there's also just no point. The couple page version is useful if and only if people actually read it, and on a personal blog they basically just won't.

I've got stuff out there in the wild that is well past the cutting edge of the relevant academic research (in an incredibly niche an irrelevant subfield) and it's just clear nobody has ever read it because who reads cutting edge research on a random blog?

Yep. Two things I've considered: starting a research blog associated with my institution, and starting some sort of forum and posting to that and aggressively inviting others in my field to post things they've been working on but that won't escape the publication gravity well.

Yeah, I've gone down the latter road a bit. So far it's been a great place for discussion but I don't know that it helps much for popularising ideas. We'll see.
