Well, that's liberating.

I just removed my stories from subscribers only access. For the longest time they've been like that but I'm trying not to find validation via subscriber, upvote, and view counts. I try my best not to be obsessed with these metrics. But it's hard especially that I'm in constant search for improvement through this. But I realized just because my story isn't getting as much attention as others' stories, it doesn't mean it's bad. I have people read my stories and get positive comments and honestly, that should be enough for me.

Just want to share!
