This essay is literally 12,000+ words (including quotes), you could make a book out of it! 3 questions: 1. Over the 2–3 months, how many hours did it take to write it? 2. Did the post reach more people than the video? (You're nearly at 1,000 views with it!) 3. Are you glad you wrote it?

1. Oh boy, it's been five years now. I really couldn't say. A few hundred, easy?

2. Couldn't tell you. I don't track that sort of thing.

3. I am. It's an argument I still find compelling and I've had nice emails about it now and again over the years.
