Sorry for the Editorial team. But i believe if they are good at what they are doing, new doors will open for them.
I am a marketer and what I have seen in recent years, the new audience (younger generation and etc) they do not like perfect and boring concept.
And I am one of them, I prefer to read articles that share their own journey, where they failed or how to make things better. In fact i have learned so much from small writers, bloggers, photographers, because they share their real stories that happened to them or how to ......
I am tired of these stories that have nothing to do with real life. Yes sounds good on a paper but simply do not work in real life. And then of course as small writers didint do that well, they started also writing articles: This is how much money I made with Medium and etc"
It was just to get views and get more $$$. I am glad when someone makes money, but it dosent mean I will make when i read it, unless it has real tips and real information.
What i am saying is that if you write because it matters to you, you think that maybe someone who reads it finds it inspirational, useful and etc. Then you are a writer, and have an impact.
All the best for medium community, as I must say I absolutely love the people I have connected here. :)
