I think you find on the web that audiences shift a
lot.  Bunch of possiblities: they're fickle; or have
short attention spans; the effort to produce something
consistent and interesting makes it too difficult (for
a weblogger- time, resources, etc.) to hold an
audience for long; or there always some cooler
technology, design, tool, or gimmick around the bend.

I agree.  Without a real practice the work can't go
deeply.  Also, I think, why much criticism fall so
short of what art actually does and is about.
