Medium is a Race

And I’m Losing!

John Malarkey (not his real name!) just posted a cool humble brag about having reached 8K followers.

So where are my 8K followers?

I have 5.1 followers, which I was very pleased about until John Malarkey (still not his real name!) popped my balloon with his 8K.

Medium is a Race

And I am losing!

I will never catch up to John Malarkey

Do you have 3K followers?

Mazel tov! Hurrah!

I’m happy for you.

But? You will never catch up to me.

By the time you reach 5.1 K, I will be at 8K.

And John Malarkey (which continues to not be his real name) will have 10K.

Or more!

How will it end?

We will start taking all the Self Help posts we read on this platform seriously and learn to view our stats with Zen-like acceptance?

We will start taking all the Self Help posts we read on this platform seriously and learn to look outside of Medium for validation?

We will realize that the only race that really matters is the Human Race, which we are all part of, kumbaya and all that, and celebrate each others achievements, because we are all one?

More likely?

Ev Williams will get bored with Medium pull the plug — and we’ll all race each other to the next platform.
