I'm not sharing to boast, but to reflect.
The commenter is correct: I have *very* few comments on my most thorough pieces.
And this makes me a liability in media.
Writers become popular by creating content that can be sensationally reposted. It should take a simple, ideally incendiary position so that commenters can easily counter or fill in the gaps.
I'm no use to advertisers.
Which is why I'm thankful to be growing the newsletter: because our clickbait economy just makes everything worse.
@MLClark Nice. Niiice. That's a lovely comment.
And yeah, I'm also a liability to media. I don't like writing clickbait.

Three cheers for being liabilities! 🥳🥳🥳
