Am I Too Concerned with Numbers?

0:18 Stop looking at crap you shouldn't be looking at.

Obviously does not involve Religious Hippie or Keith Nester.

In context, I thought it was a warning about ending like Charlie Kirk. Like ending the earthly existence, that is.

1:53 I personally need numbers, not least perhaps in France, so a parent can feel good about letting a 20 year old son or daughter start a publishing house.

I have 13 000 + blog posts, not all Apologetics or exploicitly Catholic, so, the problem wouldn't be "can I meet the deadlines" but the problem is, can I get readers.

Meanwhile, I need a publishing house, because my blogs are not monetised, so, anyone reading them is reading them for free, and that's how it should be. It's in order to get pages of real paper to turn that you should pay ... printer and binder, publisher and writer, that last person being me.

So, OK, if someone opened a publishing house in the US or if TAN or Angelus decided, they can already count on readers for me ... less certain in France so far.



[tried to add:

Case in point about the US:

États-Unis
75 + 443 + 84 + 165 + 241 + 423 + 8 + 530 + 72 + 39 + 14 + 76 + 75 + 43 + 69 + 104 + 78 + 991 + 188 + 33 + 318 + 15 + 396 + 80 + 45 + 38 + 16 + 68 = 4727 = 4.73 k
4.73 k + 22.2 k + 9.02 k + 1.72 k + 1.71 k + 5.65 k + 8.16 k + 2.45 k + 2.04 k + 5.64 k + 1.7 k + 1.26 k + 1.01 k + 1.44 k + 1.87 k = 70.6 k

Those are stats for one week = 10 k per day.

Meanwhile, in France, I had a rise from a low at 12 per day to 31 per day.]
