Thank God the Medium Writers Challenge Got Fewer Entries Than Expected

It’s already making problems

Boy, did I overestimate entry numbers for the Medium Writers Challenge of August 2021. In my post “Why This New $50,000 Medium Writers Challenge Is Problematic”, I estimated the numbers to be in the ten thousands. Not even close.

In total, distributed over all 4 categories of the MWC “Death, Reentry, Work, Space” we’re talking about 10200 stories. I got that number from the tags pages of the 4 tags. If we then consider that not every one of those stories meets the entry criteria, we’ll end up with an even smaller number.

That’s not the issue here though. Medium might be relieved about these “low” numbers. Because they just announced that judging is delayed.

What would they’ve done with the number I estimated? — Stay in touch!
