Wow, another great plus point for Thoth! I felt “compelled” to reread my old article myself.

Agreed. Multiple authors have reported that effect after Thoth included their posts (including myself). Not something I was trying for when I designed it, but it's a nice side-effect.

I think it also provides a good mechanism to stimulate renewed engagement on older posts, but I need to get better at commenting on the included posts (if the author is still active or seems likely to return) to really incubate that effect. I always review the posts, but I should comment on them much more frequently.

And all 10 of my sheep were pregnant (without me knowing it). Haha, and just like that, I suddenly had an entire flock and became a full-time shepherd. And I’m happy!

That's really an amazing sequence of events. Before your reply, I was wondering how the guy you were helping back then felt about his new competitor, but now I see that it didn't really happen that way.
