Important Request from the Editor, please read and respond

I have some important questions about "if" or "how" my curated news item posts may be useful to you... or not. I need some feedback; please read the attached brief message.

Dear Readers:

I’m at a critical juncture where I’m asking myself whether to continue publishing this alternative news item blog…

1. I recently started posting some video segments at the top of each newsletter. The click-through rate on these short video segments has been dismal, to say the least. Less than 10% of the folks who open the email watch the video. It’s extra effort for me to prepare, shoot, and post these preface videos for VaxxFacts. If you are not into it, neither am I.

2. Your click-throughs on the various items are not particularly strong, as well. That means either I’m doing a crappy job of screening alternative news articles of possible interest OR you don’t care, you’re too busy, or you’re playing ostrich by pretending to avoid the truth of what’s being done to us all as regards damn near EVERY aspect of our lives at the moment.

3. I get an occasional “like” and a very infrequent comment. (A big thank you to those who DO take the time to respond!!! It means a lot to me.) So I don’t know if my efforts are mostly falling on deaf or simply indifferent ears.

4. It’s a great puzzlement to me as to WHY someone would even subscribe to a news blog like Vaxx Facts and then be so disengaged as to a) not even open the newsletter or b) not dive into the links to the underlying stories. Why bother subscribing? It’s pointless.

5. I don’t NEED to do this. I’m quite comfortable keeping my insights (and my reverse angle view of world affairs) to myself and keeping my own counsel. I launched this online newsletter in the hopes I could and would be making a small difference somewhere and somehow in these crazy times. HOWEVER, I’m not feeling that’s so. Every one of these outbound newsletters has a “SHARE” button at the bottom. Again, statistically, very little sharing is going-on. Why is that? If you don’t care enough to share it, why should I care enough to prepare it?

In any event, I’d like some concrete feedback on the format, the quality of the alternative news items I cover, the general subject matter, your disinclination to share Vaxx Facts, and whether the video segments are helpful… (although your lack of interest in clicking on them is already a resounding “No” in my judgment).

I hope at least a handful of you will take the time to send me an email with your thoughts, feedback, suggestions, and/or encouragement.

Barring that, I will likely stop posting new editions very soon.

It takes at least a couple of hours per day for me to read up on possible content, curate it, line up the photos, load the articles, test the links, and then “publish" it… not to mention prepare a custom video introduction.

If my efforts ARE NOT making a difference for you, you need to let me know… and I need to move on quickly.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope to hear back from some of you.
