Friends: People who often hang around making nuisances of themselves.
I'm sure I make a nuisance of myself, but not sure if I'd be called a friend! Lol.
I think your content does have a fairly wide appeal, certainly in comparison to mine. Gardening has a narrow audience, but you write about things that can interest a wider range of people no matter what their hobbies.
I have much appreciation for those encouraging patron whales and do miss the time when there weren't quite so many people on the platform and a visit was more likely.
I am hoping that communities will bring some of the eyes back and new eyes in.
