Getting involved

I won’t lie to you. Before I got started on Medium, I saw social media interaction as utterly fake. Back in the day when I used to be a Community Manager for several online brands, I’d spend 30-minutes to an hour each day involving myself in the comments of Instagram and Facebook.

I’d try to create relationships that meant something.

But, to tell you the truth, one can only read so many “Amazing photo!” comments before everything on the platform seems fake.
