I have seen websites destroyed by being swamped by lengthy and irrelevant comments, so IF YOU WANT THIS SITE TO LAST, please, consider the following.

It has become a MAJOR problem that lots of topics are raised that do not pertain to the subject of the article. I am guilty, because I started to participate in such conversations previously, but I won’t be able to do it any longer.

I guess, it is because my time is limited, I haven’t done it, but people are coming up with several good topics that I must start separately in order to keep discussions on the subject. Swamping a comment section with irrelevant comments, no matter how interesting they are, deters good commenters, and eventually readers, in the long run.

Would you like to suggest topics for which I can start up articles for discussions?

How do you know who your subscribers are precisely?

As for bringinh in new readers, I can't convince most of my previous friends of what is going on even at the superficial level. What chances do I have to bring someone to your stack. I am glad that some are watching Bret Weinstein, Russell Brand or John Campbell 😂
