Hi David.

Oh thank God, it’s not just me then! I thought ‘paranoia proper’ had set in! I’ve now written over 70 qualifying articles over the last ten weeks, and all have been immediately rejected ‘due to high volume’. I wrote about it here https://medium.com/@JasonADeane/how-not-to-succeed-on-medium-e0c906337010 and would be interested in your view on it if you get a few minutes.

At least you got a response from Medium! I was advised by a few successful writers I’d reached out to email them at yourfriends@medium.com and, although I received (at first) an automated acknowledgement, I have yet to receive any answers at all. Follow up emails have not even yielded the automated response so I have assumed this email address is dead.

Well, looks like we’re going to have to do this the slow and difficult way. I think this is a great platform actually and I can’t be too negative as a result, but do feel a little ‘on my own’ and out in the cold! A little bit of love, appreciation or even acknowledgement would be very welcome!

Following you now, let’s see what we learn collectively in the coming weeks.

All the best, Jason
