Too Long; Didn't Read
This started on Saturday January 6, 2018. I was looking at my Medium stats when I noticed that the reads-per-view ratio on one of my stories, entitled <a href="https://medium.com/personal-growth/i-almost-died-this-is-what-i-learned-5de48f8d012f" target="_blank"><em>I Almost Died. This Is What I learned</em></a>, was plummeting from what had been a stable 60%. Suddenly the ratio was dropping as views increased rapidly but reads did not. At the time of writing, the story has been viewed 6.1K times but read only 786 times, producing a measly reads-per-view ratio of 13%.
