@Greyrock Alright, so here's some of my immediate feedback after finally getting through the thread:
1. You need to give us a proper intro. Coming right out the gate with a bunch of descriptors is not the way to try and get our attention, especially as you go from "Karlyn Rita Morisette Borysenko is a 41 year old wannabe
cult thought leader, sexual predator, obsessive stalker and Libertarian candidate for governor of New Hampshire..." and then immediately transition to, "In 2020 she wrote a medium article about how toxic the knitting community was and about attending a Trump rally and it was a viral sensation." I have no clue how this person's remotely relevant or interesting outside of small tidbits of information offered in the beginning. We need you to help us understand how she rose to prominence.
Basically if this were a story, we barely have a beginning to work with as the audience, and are instead expected to immediately learn who this person is on the spot.
2. Either reduce the number of links you have, or simply supplement your links by adding more accompanying screenshots to them.
"Democrats canceled knitting and I went to a Trump rally, so I'm leaving the left."
I'd rather see have the article fully quoted, given a point-by-point summation, or screenshot to save us the trouble from having to click off site constantly.
3. Personal info at the end should be placed in private tags (without the spaces between brackets)
[ private ] content [ /private ]
4. While it's good to see an OP with a lot more content to work with vs no content at all, I'd recommend taking some of the advice from other replies. Particularly ones that suggest rewriting certain parts to be more short and brief. You don't need to remove entire sections, but it helps to keep things more condensed so that the OP doesn't feel like it's a laundry list that just drags on and on.
