Thanks for taking the time to respond to me, Tony. I appreciate it. I'm not hunting for those stories at all. They pop up in my feed on a daily basis. I emailed Buster an example, which was the first story in my feed under the Writing topic I follow.

Regarding the success of these posts, I don't begrudge writers who stick to a formula that gets results (especially when income is on the line). I'm merely pointing out that the success of these kinds of posts encourages writers to keep writing them.

Maybe the analytics you and your team have access to tell a different story, and I acknowledge that my view is limited as a single user, but I can only share what I see -- and I see a lot of those kinds of stories doing well.

Regardless, I'm a big fan of Medium, and I think y'all are doing a bang-up job. That's why I care so much. Anyway, thanks for listening.
