As an ardent supporter of Medium, who I am still, there is no hidden lesson on this story. It is clickbait and it misleds the community. Yes Remi is a good wrier and she sounds authentic but Zulies title is, I don't know what to say but it is hard to stomach, mate. This is the most embarrassing story published by Medium. If I was coach Tony I'd get it deleted but saidly they boosted it. I know your good inentions and I am just like you about authenticy. I love your conent but why you still ahve only 20K writers after contributing to this paltform. Why 1 million paid members cannot find your stories. I link my story here again at least it might open some naive eyes like yours and mine. You know how much I admire your content and friendship so please don't see this as a criticism to you. https://medium.com/illumination/how-to-gain-169k-followers-6k-in-3-months-on-medium-even-as-an-absolute-beginner-as-a-teenager-e6918fa11031
