I don't think they are necessarily bad. There were quite some threads from @DarkRange55 that no one interacted with.
I think it has more to do with the audience. And on a forum like this many don't have the mental resources to read a thesis on quantum physics. Despite the fact it can be really fascinating.
In some way I think threads are more often viewed depending on the member who posted it. I know I have a few people who follow my posts. I think this doesn't make uninteresting threads interesting though. What if no one engages with this thread?
How do we define not engaging with? Getting no reply or no reaction? Many threads don't receive a reply. Sometimes a wall of text can be overwhelming. I also think it is partly coincidence. Getting no interaction at all is difficult. I think every thread has at least some views. But how many views come from bots?
I think action, sex, cannibalism (lol) and tragic deaths attract attention. I think when threads mirror the inner state of many of us they receive a lot attention. When people can really relate to it. But it also depends on their length and how poignant they are.
I don't think that good threads necessarily receive more interactions. Polarizing content that triggers our most primitive instincts can attract attention. I am not sure whether they really need to be unique. Or whether uniqueness is rather a hurdle to attract attention. Because it tends to be niche stuff that is unique.
