Yes.. I read them and people read mine.Not many: mine was put up 5 months ago and has had 247 views, with an average reading time of 58 seconds, earnings of $1.19, and 117 claps from 10 people :)

So, not a lot, obviously. But I have plenty of stories that have done less!

And yes, I do get some traction on obscure posts, though I suspect that's more from my lists. I wish we had stats on lists!

The index is the one thing I pin and it only shows the title and sub-title, so doesn't hog the screen; people who pin story after story cause me to leave quickly.
