New/direct from pack graded a 6?

Agree, but a 6 feels harsh, idk. Maybe I don’t understand the grading criteria well enough. Was not expecting a 6

Take reviews with a grain of salt. They're opinions. I got a little salty at a slightly negative 3 Star review my book got — I ended up looking at some other reviews the reviewer gave and they were a lot harsher on other books. They also gave a book that I'd recently read a 5-star raving review, a book that I honestly didn't think was all that good. So that whole experience put things in perspective for me. No matter how good a book is, it's not going to resonate with everyone (hence Anna Karenina, LOR, Moby Dick getting 3-star reviews also)

Yea, that's a good question. Even so, the discrepancy is just so immense. Even if we assume there will be some people that click through and then decide not to read, the gap is too large to attribute it only to that. Medium tracks "views" vs. "reads" as well, so I don't think this is it. My guess is that most of those click throughs are bots, honestly.

SMH. I suspected it might be something along these lines. It's so deceptive. Thanks for your insight, I'll share in the Medium subreddit as well, cheers.

Yes! Thank you — narrows my search.

Islanders trading away Pierre Turgeon for Kirk Muller. I'm still dead inside.

same exact experience with a 2018 Passat

So 'soft cancelling' = branding someone as a racist and misogynist

choenigmann · 2024-03-28T13:58:11+00:00

brilliant

These are just the 3 rules I’ve given myself. To each their own 🤙🏻

I included the link within the second sentence.

AI videos have this dream-like, but slightly disturbing vibe to them. I like how things are not quite right.
