I am writing shorter posts for two reasons - first because a short post seems to do as well as a long form and secondly I don't have as much time as I had anymore

Also the demographics have shifted which presents more opportunity to explore in my opinion

I get the spammy comments but not too many - I think you're doing very well for yourself - in other words, it doesn't matter if you get boosted or not because your audience is boosting you 🙌
