You are wrong.
You fail to understand that we ARE writing for readers. Who in the hell do you think we are writing for?!?
I’m puzzled as to why you don’t understand the issue.
Do you believe that only people who write about writing have seen drops? Because that is not the case. Those are not the people whose work I read.
The people writing about relationships, parenting, politics, lifestyles, health etc etc etc are seeing drops. Those people are not “writing for writers” for God’s sake!
