it does help...

[mostly]

on the other hand... the only time i've hovered over my stats was when i was publishing on newsbreak... and frankly, those pieces were my least favorite as they were motivated by monetary returns and wildly active stats.

on the other hand, based on my medium stats imma bonafide hack, but i guess imma a stubborn hack so i'll learn to relish my medium anonymity and hope maybe someday i'm discovered by a modest but growing group of weirdos who relate to my journey and my sharing it.

i happen to be a fan of yours, jm... so as far as i'm concerned don't stop sharing the tribulations, trials, and genuine experience you're living as a fellow 'californian', for example... and taking on france at your tender and vibrant age.

brava, mon amie!
