Conni, thank you for writing this. I hope the powers that be at Medium at least read this, because it expresses how many of the writers here feel … especially creative writers. I had a reasonably good month in February, but despite writing just as frequently March figure have plummeted.
I can’t understand the disparity between views and reads and how fans can also be higher than reads on a lot of articles. If they haven’t read it how could they have enjoyed it and clapped? I agree anything hat takes a minute or more should count as a read and you should not have to scroll to the bottom.
Cheers.
