My Least-Loved Stories of All Time — Michael Burg, MD

And why they deserve your attention

These are the dogs. Their fans per story, all in the single digits.

But wait! Before you swipe left, or do the Medium equivalent, consider this.

The read ratio for all these red-headed step children (not PC, I know) is exactly the same as it is for all my other stories, including my most-read stuff, just shy of 70%. WTF?! They’re just as good as the enthralling popular stuff, in theory.

So, really these stories aren’t least-loved, they’re just least-discovered.

Please consider a few of these nuggets, and tell a friend.

Thanks for your support. My unloved pimply butt-uglies thank you too.

Well, there you go, the neglected nine for your viewing/reading pleasure. Not a curated story in the bunch, but who knows what that means anyway.
