"How to articles": I have heard these called "the self-help bros". I decided that I didn't need young men telling me how to navigate things, especially when I was seeing fault lines in their facade. I no longer read them.

There was a brief blip around Aug/Sept of 2021 that I had a spike in reads -on mainly three articles. I get low read counts on poetry. My income from the platform has been very very low. So what can I say? I guess that many prominent poets and authors of the past, were not highly read or recognized. Not that I measure up to those, but should I take consolation from this?
