I tend to point out very uncomfortable truths and, from experience, there aren't a lot of people who can deal with that every day. I am not too worried about traction, I've been here just over a year and made about 100 posts, so my followers number (924 as of today) isn't too bad all things considered. I also don't post constantly, so there is that to consider.
I am trying to post more often as things in the world seem to spiral more out of control, but I have to balance that with my responsibilities in my day-to-day life, with a full time job, a social life, my reading and more academic research interests. Perhaps someday I will have the luxury to go full time blogger, at which point two or three posts a day would be feasible, but until then I am happy with the slow ramping up of my Cupid Zero blog.
I am glad and very appreciative of the readers I have won, of which you are one. Thanks for your kind words!
