Be Open Platinum Stories #2

Summary

The "Be Open Platinum Stories #2" is a curated collection of 25 top-performing stories from Medium, selected based on reader engagement and favoritism, aiming to give exposure to a diverse range of writers and their stories.

Abstract

The "Be Open Platinum Stories #2" compilation represents a selection of high-quality articles from Medium, chosen for their exceptional performance in terms of views, engagement, and reader preferences. These stories, which span various topics and writing styles, were originally submitted to Be Open's Golden Stories #3, #4, and #5 between April 22 and May 22, 2021. The initiative by Be Open aims to democratize content exposure by planning to feature at least one story from the Golden and Platinum collections alongside every submission to Be Open. This effort is part of Be Open's strategy to counterbalance Medium's practice of only promoting Curated/Distributed stories in their Story Recommendation tab. Additionally, Be Open is actively seeking editors to enhance their content curation and is challenging writers to share more personal stories through their "Be Open (More About Me)" series.
