I understand you’re running a business. But as you look at the most commented and most viewed articles of this last year, doesn’t it concern you at all that they are almost exclusively negative or sad posts?
Just something to think about as the business makes a din v’cheshbon going into next year… You have this amazing platform. How is it currently being utilized? How can it evolve into something that promotes and engages in positivity?
