Success on Medium
Chasing the Medium Algorithm vs Writing with others on Medium

I see so many articles on the medium algorithm and how to be successful from it.
As a writer looking from the outside, it looks and feels like I am trying to write a song, to music that is already going on at the dance.
Everyone already at the dance is trying to explain the music to new arrivals, and how to sing to it.
- Give the song this title
- Sing it in this genre
- Sing about flutes and falling meteors, that song will be a hit
I’m not saying don’t study the Medium algorithm, or how to make your articles go viral. I sincerely hope they do.
Share it with me. I’ll read, learn, and write on anything, and be respectful and honest about it.
