Unlocking Medium’s Algorithm: An Insightful Experiment
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding the Algorithm
For some time, I believed I had a solid understanding of how things operated on this platform. However, my views have recently taken a significant dip. It seems the algorithm may have decided to overlook my content for a while. Consequently, I have embarked on a small experiment, the results of which I will share in a few days.

Section 1.1: My Experiment
To gain a clearer understanding of the algorithm, I would greatly appreciate your feedback on how you came across this article. Was it from the 'For You' page, the 'Following' section, the 'Daily Digest' email, or perhaps another source? Your insights would be invaluable in helping me discern what strategies are effective and which ones require adjustment.

Subsection 1.1.1: Importance of Feedback
Why am I going to such lengths to seek your input? Primarily, I find joy in creating content for you. Yet, if I cannot reach you, my efforts seem futile; I might as well write solely for my own benefit. Therefore, I am actively exploring ways to boost my visibility, with the intent of sharing my discoveries with you so that you may also benefit.

Section 1.2: More Than Just Numbers
Beyond merely attempting to regain my views, what truly matters to me is the connection I have with all of you. It’s essential to clarify that I’m not a social media expert with all the solutions. I’m simply someone who enjoys writing and sharing intriguing content. The most rewarding aspect of this journey is hearing from all of you—your engagement makes everything worthwhile.
