That's interesting. I seldom write articles in the first person. I write in the 3rd person - the voice of command. Yet many, many people relate to what I say.

I keep mentioning here (because so many people moan about not earning) that they are writing about themselves, their lives, their opinions, other people,e tc. This is not what people want to read. They want to read about science, news, climate change, elephants, India, bootlegging, and a thousand other things.

The only time people are interested in other people is when they know them personally.
