Another reader poll about blog reading habits: how many only read this blog for philosophy-related “stuff”?
Brian Leiter
A couple of readers pointed out, regarding the prior poll, that this is the only philosophy-related blog they read. Michael B., for example, wrote, "Would you consider adding an option for 'no other blogs'? Yours is the only one I read and it'd be interesting to see for what proportion of readers this is also true." And journalist Robert McGarvey wrote: "You also forgot to put in NONE. I know I don't, and I know a number of very senior philosophers (tenured at top 25 schools) who also read only Leiter Report. Yes, if something especially insane is coming down I'll look at DailyNous, Feminist Philo, etc but not on a regular basis." Since I can't add entries after a poll starts, here's a separate one addressing this issue. (I'd have to answer this one "yes," so don't be shy!)
I'm flattered and pleasantly surprised that fully a third of readers here do not frequent any other philosophy-related blogs regularly; I would not have expected that. I'll try to continue to deserve your loyalty!
