What’s the point of collecting mirror articles on chain?

I’ve yet to try mirror, but if it really is just collecting articles on chain, I’d say the biggest point is network effect. Assuming that I (random anon) can see your collection of mirrors anyways. My opinion is that it’s what most newsletter/article platforms are missing.

How does on-chain collection of Mirror posts help with network effects? Curious anon users would then view the corresponding article?

That’s what I’m thinking.. yes but I don’t really know how it works I’m just speculating. Article posted on chain -> curious anon views article (hopefully enjoys) -> subscribes to writer -> mints -> article and the cycle repeat.
