The metric that discombobulated me: For the past 30 days, my "Open Rate" for articles I email to subscribers has been 34.2 percent. For my story "Did Covid Begin in America?" my open rate was 24 percent (now up to 25.5 percent).
I couldn't come up with a more provocative headline and the story dealt with a subject I know is taboo, but I thought plenty of people would at least open the story and scan the first few paragraphs.
A story I thought would "reach" more people than normal, and maybe even go "semi-viral," was a complete dud. Which makes someone who is inquisitive ask the question, Why is this?
One possible answer supports the thesis of the article: Some topics are probably off limits for a REASON - a reason that might be labeled "thermo-nuclear" or "seismic."
I have been reading you since Dr. Malone led me to you and so when I read the headline, I thought "Yup, it sure did" and felt no need to read the whole article. There is so much good stuff to read these days, I can't get to it all. Nevertheless, I appreciate and respect you. So please keep it coming.
That's possible, Bandit. People might have thought this is "old" or redundant news. I've, of course, written 30 to 40 "early spread" stories. However, this piece was the first and only one where Laura and I lay out compelling evidence that this virus very possibly originated in America.
For example, this is the first story I've written that outlines or summarizes the vaping stories and the summer outbreaks at the Virginia assisted living facilities and present the strange "deer evidence."
Also, this story focussed on Ft. Detrick, which I haven't done in previous stories.
What I'm really suggesting (with Laura) is that 5 to 30 million deaths could trace back to activities of the U.S. government. That's a "thermo-nuclear" scandal/revelation/possibility - or should be.
Maybe people don't want to consider this possibility or they are okay with mad scientists and massive conspiracies that produce tens of millions of victims.
The metrics of this article suggest there's no great interest in this scenario/conclusion ...Is this the response:
"Well, that's our government for you ... Hey, what's for supper?"
This description of what is in the article NOW makes me want to read it! I think there was not enough description in the headline to pique my interest.
It seemed like nothing new under the sun. But what you just described with this response is a very interesting take which I had not heard before. Going to read it now.
Although it is always difficult to gauge the reaction of readers in advance of publication, speaking strictly from my own perspective, I find the origin of the alleged virus to be relatively insignificant. There is already a surfeit of evidence exposing multiple individuals, agencies, and corporations in the COnVID bio-weapon assault and the point of origin holds little significance to me. Sadly, the perpetrators will likely never be prosecuted. The most important outcome is that eyes are opened now that can see past and present events more honestly and minds that were once anesthetized are regaining the ability to think critically. I was among those who didn't open your article for this reason, so perhaps others have similar views?
Thanks for this feedback, Peter. You write: "The most important outcome is that eyes are opened now that can see past and present events more honestly and minds that were once anesthetized are regaining the ability to think critically."
I agree 100 percent. But IMO eyes won't be fully opened unless the full truth is exposed. Once - or if - it is, people will be more likely to think critically and it will be less likely that such horrors are inflicted on the world again.
I think events like we've experienced the last five years are going to keep repeating unless those responsible are exposed and purged from positions of leadership and influence.
Exposing past "crimes against humanity" (and that's what they are) will, ultimately, make possible a better future for the inhabitants of the earth.
The "truth" - when fully revealed - would cause great pain to many people though.
I think the drop in your readership is in part due to "doom-fatigue." I've been reading dozens of stacks for the last 4 years to educate myself as I am staving off the damage from the "covid" attack on those near and dear to me, but the scale of the crime and its antecedents are being continually revealed and it's overwhelming. Paralyzing. I appreciate your stack dearly.
Thank you, LWB. I try to mix in hope-inspiring articles/themes from time to time. I vacillate between periods of hope and gloom or depression. I think Persistence is the key word for those who really are "seeking the truth." The ultimate idea is that the truth can set us free.
Also, a few of my recent articles - actually several - are producing encouraging readership numbers. Alas, the stories I want to go viral rarely do.
I see the same thing on Gab. Stories and posts that should get attention and likes rarely do. A lot of people seem to be ungenerous and unpleasant. Or maybe jaded or the constant doom fatigue is just too much. There is so much corruption and so many lies. So much greed and ugliness.
I agree with this completely. I am an administrator on a small local page and find when I post about important but controversial topics that there is very little engagement now. Even the keyboard warriors have run out of enthusiasm for abusing me. However post on a bland but uplifting topic and there is a stronger response in engagement. A lot of people have also retreated into cognitive dissonance and don't want to know at all.
It's possible some devout dissenters are opting to discard their daily dose of covid details. Friends and family members become delirious when they detect a digression from that old narrative they have touted for five years. Then there are those of us who definitely cannot be deterred from what we have discerned.
I don't get it. Most of the people I know already know that the injections are for the purpose of killing and sickening people. They already know there is something demonic perhaps otherworldly behind all this. We already know that none of the lizards will ever be called to account for their crimes. We already know that the epstein file would never be really known. Everything is fake, a bait and switch, three card monte. Sure there is DOGE, we'll see. Meanwhile the fed is still here, there is still a 37 trillion dollar debt. Does that include unfunded liabilities ? And the new bill cuts virtually nothing.
The stacks are exponentially increasing. So much so they are overlapping. Not to say that the information coming from each is not valuable. There are a few that are writing about the origins of Covid.
I value what you have to say even though I have not followed you for that long. You came from a person who suggested you as being truthful. From a source/writer that I had followed for a while and rusted.
I think we are going into depressing times as the reality takes place of what we had experienced and it's far worse than we feared. Thank you for your gift of writing and for sharing this gift. It's is very much valued. 🇨🇦

One possible answer supports the thesis of the article: Some topics are probably off limits for a REASON - a reason that might be labeled "thermo-nuclear" or "seismic."
There were so many articles around the time that you wrote your article that talked about Covid and the fifth anniversary of the lockdowns, etc. Because I subscribe to many publications, I must’ve received at least 20 articles this past week or so talking about Covid. There was no way I was going to read all of them because many of them were simply variations on the same theme.
I would say the same thing about measles. I’ve gotten about 10 or 12 articles about measles; I read a couple and unless the title suggested an article would have a radically different or interesting take on the measles’ angle, there would be no reason to look at the rest of them.
Also, your title sounds like something we could have possibly read in the past. 😉
Those are probably the two biggest reasons why people didn’t open it.
You are clearly a gifted writer, and I do enjoy your work. I hope you get an uptick soon. 🙏🏾
Perhaps wisdom - or discernment - would mean dropping or not pursuing certain topics?

Thank you, Maria. I got my biggest-ever subscriber spike from Dr. Malone cross-posting one of my articles.
“There is so much good stuff to read these days, I can't get to it all.” Well said, Maria. I’m in the same boat.
Considering you've written, at least, 2 other articles on this subject, if not more, could it be that your readers think it's been covered?
That's possible, Bandit. People might have thought this is "old" or redundant news. I've, of course, written 30 to 40 "early spread" stories. However, this piece was the first and only one where Laura and I lay out compelling evidence that this virus very possibly originated in America.

Well, dang. (That's the d-word that comes to mind.)
I like that you end the d-words on "discernment."
... From one of the great wordsmiths on Substack. "Diligent" might be the word that best describes your indispensable transcription project.
It's possible some devout dissenters are opting to discard their daily dose of covid details. Friends and family members become delirious when they detect a digression from that old narrative they have touted for five years. Then there are those of us who definitely cannot be deterred from what we have discerned.
Teri, you are a master wordsmith. Damn good!
I thought of more after I submitted it.....LOL.
I don't get it. Most of the people I know already know that the injections are for the purpose of killing and sickening people. They already know there is something demonic perhaps otherworldly behind all this. We already know that none of the lizards will ever be called to account for their crimes. We already know that the epstein file would never be really known. Everything is fake, a bait and switch, three card monte. Sure there is DOGE, we'll see. Meanwhile the fed is still here, there is still a 37 trillion dollar debt. Does that include unfunded liabilities ? And the new bill cuts virtually nothing.
Denial/deny is another appropriate D word, for today especially.
Gosh, I should go back and add those. "Denial" is in the chapter, but it's one of the fine-print words at the bottom of each page.
You are open and paying attention! I am proud. Keep doing what you're doing and don't worry so much about the numbers.
The stacks are exponentially increasing. So much so they are overlapping. Not to say that the information coming from each is not valuable. There are a few that are writing about the origins of Covid.

Thank you very much, Tip. Word of mouth advertising is the best.
I've decided The "origins story" - or a real investigation - is probably taboo for a reason, a reason that's not hard for me to ... discern.
I remember back in law school, a classmate named Al Glimis said he was "depressed, dispirited.,,.,y'know, all those D words."
It was a funny one-liner.
But today at the Y, I urged my teammates to "D up!"
.
Ha! Great column today!

I too love the word discernment. We should use it to determine that viruses have not been shown to exist.
