Has Medium lost it or what?

In a recent post, Medium staff Zulie interviewed a writer who gained 168k followers in just 3 months. Yes, you’ve read it correctly.

168k followers in just 3 months!

Too huge a number to believe.

The person behind the profile is a 18-year old girl named Remylyn Tornilla, known as Remi from Philippines. She discovered Medium through TikTok and started loving this platform as she felt a “sense of belonging among the writers here.”

Here’s a few of her recent articles with the number of engagements:

  • to be loved is to be known — 36k claps, 200 comments
  • you don’t have to be sorry for leaving and growing up — 32k claps, 218 comments
  • i say the words i wish to hear — 52k claps, 422 comments
  • but i want to live, not just survive — 43k claps, 360 comments

Now tell me, don’t you think something is fishy here?

How on earth a newcomer enters this platform (where brilliant writers struggle) and wins the lottery one after another with her silly articles. Not to mention, most of her writings — as AI detector suggests — are generated by AI.
