Many writers keep asking me what the heck is going on Medium.

I don’t know what is going on exactly, but the more followers I gain, the lower views and reading times I receive.

In a story, I pointed out that “Ironically, the more followers I gain, the lower views and reading times I receive. This is not exclusive to me. I observed the same pattern in the stats of many highly followed writers.”

Many top writers who achieved four digits in views and reading stats before, now experience significant reductions, all the way down to single digit stats.
