I joined Medium in February of 2019, which means that I’ve been on this platform four years. This also happens to be my 700th Medium post.

I’d love to celebrate these milestones by sharing everything I’ve learned about this place. You, my readers, deserve to receive all of my hard-won words of wisdom about Medium.

The only problem is that I haven’t got any. As soon as I begin to get this platform figured out, they always change the rules.

Medium is a Mystery

The only thing I’ve learned for certain about Medium after having been here for four years is that nobody understands it. Especially the folks who are running it. For the past four years, this platform has been an airplane that the Masters of Medium are building as they fly it.

Nobody knows where it’s going, when it will get there, and how many of us will still be around when it does.

So if the purpose of this post is to share what I know about Medium, I really should have left the entire thing blank. Or it should have contained nothing but a series of photos like this:
