First, ladies, let me express my solidarity with your oppression by that other gender that will remain nameless.

Ich bin eine Frau — and no I am not revealing a recent Sex Reassignment Surgery.

When Michael Burg, MD revealed his plan to help anonymous writers improve their read ratio, my hopes skyrocketed.

He wrote, “This occurred May 20, 2023, when your stories received 30 reads and 27 views.”

To which I ̶s̶a̶i̶d̶, ̶s̶i̶g̶h̶e̶d̶, grumbled “god damn it, you mean there are writers who have received over 20 views?”

As anonymity buries me ever deeper here, my continued popularity on Quora (44,587 views last month, over 5.5 million all time) leaves me dazed and confused. (Should ask the question on that platform, “Why does Medium hate me so much?)
