I totally get this. I don't mind reading some of advice articles, but it is all about the tone. Jan Sebastian is a great example of telling her amazing stats, but actually going into detail on how she does it. She has also emailed me to try and help. I write about my stats each month, but they definitely aren't advice articles. 😂 They are more for me to figure out my life on here lol.
You're right though. One uppers are never fun to be around, and with the online world, we can't seem to escape them. 🤦♀️
