Another linguistics note: Has anyone else noticed how eliding the subject (in this case "I") seems to have become more and more acceptable in English over the last 10 years? Wonder if anyone has written about this trend.

When you exclude “I” it allows the reader to see themselves ie identify with the writing more easily (people love to talk about themselves etc.) It’s a contemporary, subtle, psychological sales tactic.

I believe most people employ this unknowingly since (I hypothesize) they copycat from high-follower accounts in social media that tend write in this manner
