I read an article about this once, but it wasn't as positive as yours! He was mad that people weren't reading his articles, but he stated that he didn't have the time to read theirs. I explained what you did. This is a community platform. We read and are read. We can still form genuine connections. We can still be fans of people's writing. But we are just going to be more into supporting those that also support us. There are too many people on this platform to read everyone. I don't think it's a bad thing to keep up with supporters. <3
