Ann, thank you for the kind words! I completely understand about time and sincerity of effort.

On paper, following a lot of people does seem to be an accumulation trick. But, I can honestly say, I’ve had tenfold more interaction with people since Dec 16th when I started focusing on growing my follower list. I’ve been a Medium member since November 2018 and these last three weeks have been rich with interactivity and increased motivation because of the interaction.

I’ve read some very interesting stories from people I would have never found otherwise. They also would probably have never found me.

You are right about getting pulled away and not finding the same article. It happens to me too. Perhaps the booksmarks option can help us here. I have yet to use it.
