Couldn't have hit the nail on the head any harder.

Even articles by good writers written on a topic they don't care about end up sub-par at best. Readers can feel the energy and passion of the writer through their words, grammar, punctuation, all of it!

If an article is on a topic you like, but doesn't excite you (because the writer couldn't even excite themselves) you aren't nearly as likely to upvote or engage it with comments.
