Some people say that an article that isn’t read might as well not exist. But is that really true?

The value of an article cannot be measured solely by the number of readers. Here’s why:

• Historical significance: Some articles serve as important records of events or ideas.
• High-specialization content: Articles with niche or highly specialized information may have fewer readers but still hold great value.
• Future relevance: An article might not be popular now, but it could gain importance when the time comes.

The idea that “unread articles don’t exist” may make sense from a commercial perspective, but we must not overlook the diverse and meaningful roles an article can play.
