As I read this I kept agreeing and agreeing, I hate hype as well. One of the things I hate is that hype raises the expectation level. There is a difference between end-users creating hype about a product/service (or whatever) and the company itself creating the hype. It’s borderline egotistic for a company to pump something up so much before it’s released. They raise the expectation level, once you experience the product you’re let down. 2 classic examples you gave that were dead on the. Google is doing huge things and you never hear a word from them. The users create all of the hype by talking about a new service Google snuck in when no one was looking. This is so right on the money.

Despite a high-ish number of visitors, I often wonder if anyone is paying attention. The other thing is, if the blog takes off, you may spend more time managing it than persuing the hobby that started it in the first place – is that cynical?

When you consider how many people out there are ATV enthusiasts, if even a small fraction read blogs, that’s still a good number for you to draw from… especially if there aren’t many good ATV blogs, which I suspect there aren’t. However, it seems like you’ve hit the nail on the head with the “passion” strategy. In most cases, if you’re truly passionate about something, it’s unlikely that you’re the only one.
