The freakish popularity of my Epsom salts article

This story of this article just gets weirder and weirder: my detailed look at Epsom salts has always been popular, but it has now risen to the 2nd most frequently visited page on SaveYourself.ca, 2800 visits in November at a staggering-for-the-internet average visit length of 7.5 long minutes. This is the internet we’re talking about here. Internet minutes are like normal hours. 90% of YouTube users won’t watch videos longer than three minutes (I won’t, not even for head-explodingly cute talking cats). Attention spans are so short on the internet that websites lose visitors with every extra tenth of a second of page load time.

So, if you do the math, the people of the world spent, um, mumble mumble, carry the three … more than two weeks, 24/7, without breaks, reading that single article. Wow. Must be a good article. You should read it. Take your time.
