I never knew this was a thing on Medium. I’m shocked. I have never played these games, not on Medium or other social media platforms.
In two years I have grown a following of nearly 3000 I am proud of my numbers because I feel like I earned them. I have systems I use, for example, if people comment on my work who I don’t follow I check their work out. That is about respect not numbers.
Thanks for bringing this to everyone’s attention. I’m sure I’m not the only one who didn’t know this was happening.
