Not entirely true, I think. I may look at what a new followers writes, and if I like the content, I will read a few articles. If the writing is of low quality, I do not. What would help is that the email function would actually work. According to an editor, it doesn't, and I have yet to receive an email from someone whom I subscribe to. That makes it hard to keep reading because (after a while), there are too many people to keep track of.
