lol I probably inspired this, I'm not "selling" it and I don't care who reads it. some writing is for others and you need them to read it to get the value of engagement. other writing is mostly for yourself.

Idk that there's an overall purpose to such declarations, probably really contextual. I usually write in the 500-700 word range so anything longer is a surprise both to me and my readers. Sometimes ppl are probably really impressed w themselves (even though it might suck)
