Awkward Medium Feature
Did y’all know this? Am I the only one late to this party?
What’s up with this new feature of sending a notification to writers every time we bookmark their stories?!
Okay, it is good to know that you intrigued someone with your title and it feels great to be assured of potential reads (unless they never get back around to read it :/).
Until I noticed that the writer will also be notified of the name of your list in which you’re saving their works. Sorry, whaaat?
Those of you with lists like Reading List, Weekend Reads, etc., don’t need to worry. But not me :P

Imagine seeing a notification — Amy Rosie has added your story to their list Weird ass titles… or Read, bitch.
They are legit lists I had created. :P
It was all in good fun, I never intended to ridicule anyone. I did not know people could see that. I feel so bad right now, jeez… I apologize to those who had to see that.
I made them private though I don’t know if that’d prevent a notification from being sent.
Now, to be on the safe side, I made one list called To Read where I save posts I want to read and also those that I have read and want to give a shoutout to in the future or keep as reference for some reason.
The problem with it now is that there’s a chance people may get confused as to why I am clapping and leaving comments on their articles which I saved in To Read just a few seconds before.
See you next post!
Love.
