I remember having something parsing the apache logs and counting people. At some point I'd look at the stats several times a day ruining all the fun. I uninstalled it and now only write for myself. Couldn't be happier about it!

On that point, great article by the way! I shared it with my partner and we've been talking about it this morning. She's in comms, so for her social media has had all the joy sucked out of it long ago, and not it's just a tool.

For me the internet was a big part of my socialisation, so I miss the old, more fragmented, internet much more.
