Fake Engagement

Stop clapping my stories

With the rise of AI content and Medium bending over backwards to promote this style content. Reading and views have gone down the drain.

Who else is tired of fake engagement? I will not read your content if you clap my stories and leave. If you want to engage with me by reading my stories and then commenting (non-AI comment) I am happy to check out your work.

But over the last few months I have notifications daily from people who click on a random story, clap and leave. I do not know what this is meant to accomplish, in my eyes very bloody little.

This AI accounts farm real accounts for reads and views. Medium constantly tells us that they are removing AI accounts and punishing them, but I call BS. Medium punishes original content, by actively promoting AI content.

I am a real account, and I am lucky to make 40c a month now. But just jump onto the front page and you can see how much fake content there is. And it is all the same boring stuff… How I made $10,000 on Medium… What a loud of crap, you are an untalented bum who needs AI to write your article for you.

I guess what I am trying to say, if you are a fake person or a real person who is farming engagement, then do not come and drop a clap in hopes that I will come and waste my Friend of Medium to boost your shitty articles. It isn’t going to happen.
