Well..I wonder if you have read the new distribution categories? So Meta articles are limited to the writers own network - (will link my post in a PM)

There is def a shift to personal stories but I don't know how many ppl are reading them - it is currently one of the (if not the) most competitive niche

How many posts get boosted? Out of 240.000 in Feb and limited number of boost nommers, the chances are quite low

I feel more and more writers have to depend on their own networks - what are your thoughts on that?

My articles from a year or two ago still gain views so am assuming new writers may still find it relevant - not sure if I'd want to go in and delete them -
