That's the thing most of us writers have to remember - we are in the minority. Medium isn't a site for writers. It's mostly a site for readers - the vast majority of people on this site don't put out content. Maybe they do one or two, but they settle into reading the sort of content they like and they go hunting for it. Society, money, The Great Goddess Algorithmia and the complexity of interpersonal dynamics get in the way. I'm always delighted when a new name pops up in my comments section and says something along the lines of 'I've been reading you for years, but I've got something I want to say about THIS'. That's what Medium should be about. Medium is constantly striving to find ways to ensure the readers you need are finding you - it's just getting a lot harder I think. :o)
