Oops, Could I Be a Reason Why You’re Earnings Tanked?
The new buzzphrase and 3 other things you need to look out for in Mediumland
🙄I know, yet another Medium article to add to the pile of rants, conspiracy theories, and “Medium is dead, I’m leaving…to Substack!”
But here’s the difference.
I’m writing for my readers — whether 10 or 100. They read me for a reason — trust being one of them.
My community gives me the crucial initial ‘boost’ in an era where actual boosts are as rare as a dragon scale. As you might know, the algorithm is triggered by claps — something pure readers who silently read and vanish like ghosts can’t/won’t do.
👉But now, a community might be flagged as an ‘engagement ring’ aka writers supporting writers.
👉They’re coming down hard on Meta stories. So if you’ve made a career out of that, I’d recommend switching…to data science (hottest ticket in town). 😅
👉Writers, examine the quality of your comments — “good,” “nice article” or “informative” is spam which you should report, not thank.
