The author said in the comments section: "honestly, i didn’t come here to follow people. i came here to build an audience"
He also said in the article: "Medium has become overloaded with loud, obnoxious idiots and I am no longer comfortable telling people, ‘Yeah I post on Medium, check me out.’"
To me, this sounds like he is concerned about his personal brand / reputation, which he aggregates with the content of Medium as a whole. As such, I think that lucasnemeth's points are reasonable.
- jbmorgado 11y agoBuilding an audience is not the same as building a business. And the fact that most people now-a-days can't see the difference between the two things goes on to prove the all point of the article. Some people just want to create and show it to the world, they are not obsessed in getting millionary over it. But that goes against the "entrepreneurial" culture installed over the last decade where everyone thinks it's a nice thing to actually pass all your time promoting yourself like you are some kind of brand. From what I got from the article, that's exactly what the author of the article is against.
