Your numbers would probably be a lot higher if Microsoft wasn’t hiding your posts in their JUNK folder. It has now been well over a month since any of your posts make it to my inbox despite the fact that I have you defined as a contact.

I don’t know how that gets fixed but I hope it does soon!

I check my junk mail folder at least twice a day for this reason - also Microsoft. Suddenly many Substack writers are landing there that never did in the past.

Great idea. I also automatically send certain senders' emails into a file, so at least I don't have to look for them.

Oh, gee. That explains it! I really don't trust Substack very much.

Note: The email and letter was regarding what I personally read, not what others read, which would be of more interest.

I don’t believe SubStack has a hand in this, it’s being put into the Microsoft Outlook Junk folder.

Got it, thank you. 🤗

These substack stats are not really accurate. I read most of your articles from beginning to end, but I often do it in my email app or open it in Brave browser, since they are more functional. Substack then sees it as unread, or maybe 5% read.

Yes, they don't track (that I know of) how much my articles are read. The Substack email and meme considered what I read, not what I write.

Why do you support this privacy breach of Substack?

I normally admire your smartness.

I don't mind your seeing how much I read.

That is not the point. They intrude your privacy.

Congrats Margaret. Top 5% pf anything, except being an attorney, politician, hospital administrator, pharma chemist/biologist, false prophet or other type of organized crime worker ... , is something to take notice and commend for your efforts.

Hi, thanks, I appreciate that!

It just says that I am a big Substack reader;). Today, to avoid being in an echo chamber, I obtain much of my content from sources outside of Substack.

To be in the top 5% is really impressive! Great reads btw :)

I just discovered your book and work, and thank you ma'am for your work and advocacy of others. It's truly remarkable and deserves exceedingly high praise. And it feels very alien and absent into today's society and healthcare system. All the essence of healer and respected authorities of care have been shed in lieu of economized, faulty implementation of algorithmic care, lack of individual case analysis, and dehumanizing patients as if just potential liabilities. It's truly sad and yet maybe medicine was always like that, and I've just discovered it only later. Anyway, please keep up the amazing work Dr Aranda. Will be sure to share your story.
