Has Medium invented a time machine?

You’ve noticed it before, I’m sure.

You have — for example — a nice read tally of 1,000,000; then all of a sudden on your next frantically obsessive stats checking doom scroll, you’re at a hideously unsatisfying count of 999,999.

Where has the missing read gone?
