Here’s why you shouldn’t. I think I should’ve made this article into a listicle. “5 reasons why you shouldn’t care about being curated on Medium”, or something similar. The algorithm would’ve liked it better. Anyway, you’re here for those reasons. Whether you’re a new writer, wondering why your posts are not being curated and pushed …

Side-hustle “gurus” strike again. Money-making stories do incredibly well on Medium. It’s the thing that I dislike the most about this platform. No, it’s not because I frown upon posts that convey financial advice in an easy to grasp and catchy manner. The reason is this practice allows scammers to thrive and almost make any …

At least it was honest about it. I am new to using A.I. writing assistants — Rytr specifically — and now I am in a test-it-all phase because frankly, I find the software and its potential absolutely mesmerizing. I already posted two of my tests here as stories… Can A.I. Writers Write Fiction? Can A.I. …

And why those 100 followers you got in two days don’t matter.
