It is September 12. Ten days after you published this article. It looks like I'm the second person to read it.

Your work does not show up on my feed that often. I think you already know that. Maybe 30% of my feed is writers I have chosen to follow. But why some of my favorites and not others? About 65% are from unknowns. Just a smidge of the popular writers, but these have decreased in the past year.

I could say that there is a conspiracy of some kind. But I have found excellent work with writers with less traction than I. And for those writers who seem to get a little more traction than I, I don't think they are making minimum wage.

It's all a mystery.

I 'm still puzzled at how I can earn 4x my annual subscription and get such little traction.

If there are "mostly readers" here, I'm not seeing any sign of them.
