Great article, and can totally relate. I see no difference in stats with curated pieces. My average for a curated piece is about 30 views. This is a good perspective to keep in mind so my expectations aren't as high. On another note, I have gotten better at not constantly looking at my stats as a gauge of my worth on the site. I am letting it be more and find my writing to be much more productive. Thanks again, I always appreciate your work.
