I think people get in trouble because they always read and leave a comment on whoever reads them and it might look like it's fake engagement to the algorithm.
I try to respond to most comments on my articles and that limits my reading time on here. I reached the max of 100 comments the past couple of days, but it's mostly just responding.
I might be able to read around 20-25 articles a day but I'm just guessing. I don't do it all at once, but I spread it throughout the day.
