"Circles working as designed."
Another way to look at your statement is I looked at the blog's other posts and it seems vaguely "design-ish". I don't think there's a vibrant "design" community on G+. On the other hand you can't get the amateur / semi-pro photographers to shut up on G+ its a flood from those folks. Lots of maker type people active on G+. Lots of ham radio types too.
If your group doesn't hang out on G+, you end up with narrow worldview weird blog posts about "nobody uses it" which misses the point.
For an analogy, I haven't read much commentary about Minecraft in the places where Dwarf Fortress people hang out. Therefore no one plays Minecraft, obviously. Well, not really, the world is just a little bigger and complex than expected.
