It is so much nicer to participate in the Medium community authentically. Read the people you truly like, be happy when you stumble on a new great writer. Make sincere comments. Don’t recommend things you haven’t read to get a recommended back. Be real, keep working on your writing, the views will follow — or they won’t, it just doesn’t matter. Just keep writing, re-reading and editing. Reading and writing regularly will improve your writing and that’s all that really matters.
