I was drafting an article and had almost finished. Was ready to hit the publish button when all of a sudden my browser shut down. When I tried to reopen and restore the session, my entire Read.Cash article had been completely erased. Normally I write my content in a document on my desktop and then copy and paste it into the document on the publishing platform. I did not do that this time.

I really don't have the patience to rewrite the article from scratch. So! I'm just going to let it go! I'm just going to write this off as the "tech gods" being angry with me and not wanting me to accomplish what I had set out to do. Anyway! In the process of writing the article, I think I answered my own questions. LOL. It was something about stuff that was happening to me on Twitter. I've had my account since 2012. After 10 years of being active, and shortly after Musk purchased Twitter - which may or may not be a related event - all of sudden I'm getting a bunch of "questionable followers". They don't look genuine, They look like bots or spam. At any rate, since having them as followers is not going to contribute anything positive to my social media activity, I've decided to remove them. I think it's logical to do that. After all, I have being doing fine on Twitter since 2012 WITHOUT them following me. I am getting these followers DAILY. That means that every day I have to perform an "extra task" to remove them all manually. It takes about an hour out of my day when I could be doing something much more productive. But hey! That's life! Sometimes, you have to deal with nuisances.

Lesson learned? Draft your article in a document on your desktop first. So if your browser shuts down you won't lose all of your work.

I tend to click the "save draft" button throughout the writing process to avoid this. This would irk me to no end and sorry that it had to happen to you.
