Thanks so much, Jonathan. I’m interested in reading that piece of yours about writers with big followers who get few claps. I’m sure it says a lot about their engagement with readers (and how many of those so-called readers are actually bots).

You mentioned repurposing stories: curious what your take is on tweaking older stories and republishing them? I’ve never done it, but I’ve considered doing it with a few older stories that could maybe use some edits, to see if improvements would help bring more eyes to the piece. But it does bug me when I see the same story over and over on a writer’s feed, and I don’t want to turn people off by shoving the same stories down their throat. Would love to get your opinion on the pros and cons…
