Man, back when we had view counters I used to feel like shit when my stuff had like 10 views and 6 of them were me obsessively checking for typos.

I don't post a lot but when I do I thankfully seem to get decent engagement these days (touch wood). That's all I ask; even from just a few people. Even if a view counter were possible, no such device could replace a few good, engaging comments by real people who actually read my work.

I live for those comments; comments like yours. Thank you for your kind words.
