This Is a Medium Meta-story Explaining Why I Deleted Most of My Medium Meta-articles
Besides, I never wanted to be the Medium Meta-Queen anyway.
Medium has made many magnificent changes, and it deserves every alliteration I can muster. For instance, today Medium has a million marvelous members.
What does this have to do with why I chose to delete my meta-articles? My meta-articles on how to grow on Medium are simply outdated and no longer useful.
A little backstory
I originally wrote those articles to help. I wanted to share things I learned about audience engagement and audience development to keep good writers on the platform.
Writers were dropping faster than wi-fi at a big family dinner.
Around late 2021 and the first two quarters of 2022, so many writers threatened to leave the platform. They felt all the attention had been given to a handful of writers. Little did they know, these so-called Top Writers were struggling too.
The readers just weren’t on the platform.
Therefore, what did we do? Well, a small community of writers started their own publications, we all band together and read each other's work, clapped, highlighted, and commented.
