People tend to read articles because the author is able to share insights that would be much harder -- whether in skill, time, or energy -- to come up with themselves. But here you're asking to put the reader to put in more work than you did, to find an insight that may or may not be there. What is your picture of the moment-by-moment thoughts of someone who would click this and upvote?
