Interesting points, I Quote the article in double brackets , comment to each quote in double  colons

<<Some writers think the protagonist’s “flaw” will cause the reader to turn away from the character and dismiss them, but in reality, the opposite is true: It’s what causes the reader to relate, and lean in.>>
:: not all readers, i am one that doesn't like the constant internal troubles in characters, it is very manufactured::

<<If you’re writing a novel, I’d love to hear from you on this. What is your protagonist’s internal issue? And how does this issue stand between them and their goal in the story?>>

In conclusion, I think readers taste, buying readers taste, in a modernity where people have lessened their travel , even outside their home in their local community, has influenced the desire in buying readers to see internal conflict, reflecting the growing internal conflict in readers.
