Importance and Value of Medium Friendship for Writers and Readers
Extending a Warm Welcome to Explore a New Opportunity to Support Writers
While some might perceive me as a prolific writer, the reality is that my engagement leans heavily toward reading — my writing constitutes merely 1% of my platform interaction and 99% of my reading. Each day, I dedicate myself to absorbing around 150 stories, cultivating a deep connection with the writing and reading experiences on this platform.
This immersion in storytelling and avid reading, coupled with an editing role for multiple publications, allows me to empathize with and appreciate the endeavors of both writers and readers alike. I wrote this story to inspire readers and writers on this platform, introducing the value of the Medium Friendship subscription model.
“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.” — Elbert Hubbard.
Medium Friendship, as announced by Alex Benzer on 28 November 2023, is only about two weeks old, but it has made a significant impact on the platform, giving hope to writers and inspiring readers to support them better.
