You're not wrong, but like a previous commentor, I wonder what the point of this point is. For authors to not share stories because they will not get 10k views per chapter? This post reads rather pessimistically. There are a ton of newer authors, people who do this for personal enjoyment. I did take a look at some of your reviews. One rather scathing 2 star review was for an authors first story on the site. Other readers will see that review and never give that story a chance. That author will never make the 1,000 read on his story. Hell, they may feel discouraged and never even write again.
But maybe that's what this is all about? I'm not sure.
