You definitely have a funny bone in you! Though it is very dry humor as British humor supposed to be. My favorite is Winston S. Churchill's quote
“My tastes are simple: I am easily satisfied with the best.”

I wish I could give you good advice, but I am puzzled myself. It's as if some users are only allowed a certain number of views and that's that.

I am here from 2016 and it used to be a nice place to accumulate cryptocurrency. My short stories used to make (+/-)$20 each. Right now it's a hit and miss. Although misseses happen much more often than hits. A couple of weeks ago I wrote a quite silly story for a prompt and it unexpectedly made me $15 bucks or so and lots of views. By now I cannot understand why? So, I don't know. If I ever figure it out I will undoubtedly tell you.

Cheer!
