Summary

Abstract

The author of the article has reached a point of exasperation due to the lack of response from Medium's customer service. Despite having surpassed 1,000 followers over a month ago and knowing that they have gained more followers since, their Medium profile has not reflected these additional followers. This issue is critical to the author, as accurate follower statistics are essential for their social media promotion efforts and for personal satisfaction, knowing that their content is valued by their audience.

I’m Getting Fed Up With No Response From Medium

My stats don’t show a change, even though they reported more followers

I’ve never written a blog post on Medium about Medium, but I’m frustrated like crazy and don’t know what else to do. I hope this post will finally generate some answers. I’ve sent them numerous requests about this issue, and they say they will respond, but all I get are crickets.

Here is the back story: I broke the 1K barrier over a month ago. Since then, I know I’ve gotten many more followers, but nothing is showing this on my profile?

What gives?

I sent a note through their help app, and there was a posting from them there that there is a problem with counting followers. That was several weeks ago.

I sent another note more direct, and I got a response they would get back to me soon. That was also over two weeks ago, and still no answer and no change on my profile.

I need to know my stats? It matters to me as I use this information for my Social Media promotion. Plus, I just like to know people find my contributions meaningful to them.

So, hey, Medium. Get back to me and let me know if I matter to you?

I’ve been your loyal customer since December and a thousand plus people think I give them value.
