They are sabotaging honest and hard-working writers on Medium. With unity, writers can save themselves and each other.

Does this statistic make sense? Clappers and runners were here.

I read every writer’s power of words, which shows up in my comments and feeds. I engage, comment, and give the maximum claps. My personal feelings don’t influence my ability to support writers. My earnings are nose-diving. I thought it was the algorithm, but it’s not.

My apologies to the algorithm and Medium.

How can I have 3001 views but only 506 reads? That means only 1/6 of the views are reading my power of words. I am not the only writer who is experiencing this. Look at my stats.

Inspired by Jay Squires.
