I have NEGATIVE karma on LessWrong. My writing is evidently unappealing. Why would I start a blog when it would generate negative publicity about myself?
Many people with opinions that are popular generally would not achieve high karmas on LessWrong, so I don’t think that is necessarily a good barometer of whether your ideas would be successful in other venues.
Evaporative Cooling in that situation should lead to readers and commenters being only people who like you and people who hate you and want to verbalize it on a regular basis.
On a seperate note, your karma history is 44% positive. I think people both often agree with your comments and often disagree with your comments. They just disagree slightly more often. I think this is a good reason for you to keep posting for the time being.

True. In this sense you have an understanding of yourself. That’s a good thing.
