as an example

https://elpis.ws

now to the point, what is needed:

1. respect the reader, write interestingly.

2. write as you think is necessary, do not bend to fashion

3. no advertising! no social components

4. only RSS subscription no other methods

5. reading should be like in old magazines, so that the reader really gets the impression that he is reading old magazines, and not an advertising catalog

thats it :=)
