So your earlier post that said: "The bigger question is why the mass audience is style and tone deaf, and finds them readable." was not a rejection of their opinion? It sure sounds like one to me.

It is only your claim that it isn't the writing, not mine. Certainly there is a combination of factors going on here, but the writing is part of that combination. It is your prior claim that the mass audience is style and tone deaf that seems to be a total rejection of popularity.
