Curated Collection

Mike’s Favorite Stories on ILLUMINATION Publications — #35

Featuring some engaging stories that you may enjoy as well

I felt great after completing 35 collections as I enjoy reading more than writing, although I want to write to keep my neurons active in this old age. I found captivating stories that you may enjoy as well today.

Today’s collection is a tad smaller due to a bustling day, but each story within is a hidden gem worth your time. Dive in, engage, and spread the word on social media so these stories can reach more readers.

Let’s rally behind the writers featured here, as these compilations aim to shine a spotlight on exceptional stories that might otherwise get lost in the crowd. Together, we promote a community of support for writers and readers. Happy reading!

Unfortunately, my account was duplicated for the fourth time today, causing inconvenience to my readers once again. I’ve expressed my frustration in a story.

I invite and urge you to share the information, and together, let’s stand against these scammers, ensuring they fail in their fraudulent activities. Your support is invaluable in this collective effort. Thank you for joining me in the fight against these unethical behaviors on this platform.

And the day before, they cloned Dr Yildiz’s account a third time. He provided valuable guidance.

Aiden’s Collections

Here is his latest one. He has already created 45 collections, always finding gems from hidden corners.

Boosted Stories

We posted our BOOSTED collection from ILLUMINATION-Curators account.

Monthly Updates

The monthly newsletter from ILLUMINATION account.

Aiden also posted it to Substack (illumination.substack.com).

The inexplicable decline in visibility perplexes us. I encourage you to explore his narrative and gain insights into his concerns, as articulated constructively in his own words.

Here’s how topic pages look like:

Strategic Changes on Medium in 2023: How I Adapted to the New Strategy

He used his top-performing (5%) stories as an example of what Medium wants. Like many writers, 95% of his stories hardly received any views from his vast following in 2023.

An Interview with Tim Denning.: Last year, Aiden (Illumination Gaming) wrote a story about Tim as part of an AI project. I believe you will love what AI thinks about Tim.

You can find them in this list if you missed the previous collection.
