Understanding the Medium Phenomenon: Why Engagement Matters
Written on
Chapter 1: The Medium Experience
For the past week, I've been actively sharing my thoughts on Medium, covering a variety of subjects. To my surprise, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, leading to a notable increase in followers, views, reads, and even earnings.
However, I want to address a perplexing behavior I've observed among many writers. It seems that people frequently visit posts, give them a clap, highlight random sections, and leave comments without actually engaging with the content. This raises an important question: why should someone invest time in reading your post if you aren’t willing to dedicate a few moments to read theirs?
In truth, engaging with the work of others can be mutually beneficial. It fosters a sense of community and trust among writers. Personally, I approach reading by browsing through my Medium feed or following links shared on social media. If I find an article compelling, I’ll read it in full. Even if the topic doesn’t pique my interest, I try to spend at least a couple of minutes on it. This small effort not only supports the author but may also encourage them to continue their writing journey.
So, what are your thoughts on this practice? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments section. And if you think I’m off-base, I’m all ears!
