I don't think it's simple as creating high quality content - although it may be a factor because I have never believed in annoying readers with subpar posts.
I am noticing a steady improvement - however I'm not sure about others. Hoping that the tide is gradually shifting
I still maintain my publishing pace of a few posts a week - it's business as usual for me mainly because it is a hobby I enjoy - I'm still a FoM member (not sure who it is benefitting) - I think we shouldn't wait on others to show us whether we should stay or leave, write or not but do it because of what feels right to us
