You Can Expect Most Comments On Medium To Be Kind
But not always
People are churning out stories on Medium.
Everyone who is writing on Medium can expect to get comments and responses to their stories once in a while. The comments are generally kind and considerate partly due to the fact that it is mostly fellow writers who are reading your work. These people who comment might even become virtual friends in time.
Some top writers on Medium get so many comments whenever they write a story that they may never look at and read the comments. It would be a big job to do so. Some have said they never answer comments because they don’t read them.
Others who are not top writers do not get a lot of comments so it is not a burden to read them and respond with a reply. Some writers have said that they answer every comment they receive.
There are many kind comments which may be received on Medium. They may say things like: Great story! Enjoyed this piece. Good research. Agree with you. Nice work. Thanks for sharing it.
People who write on Medium may be looking for topics about which to write. Sometimes a news story seems interesting enough to share. There may be some readers who do not like what you write.
It is possible to receive some negative and derogatory comments such as: Why would you write this? This was not interesting. This is not relevant. You don’t have a clue about this. What are you thinking?
There are people who will tell it like it is and might give what sounds like a negative comment, but then they back it up with a compliment. It is possible to be kind even if you want to make a point.
If you write on Medium or any other platform, you may need to develop a thick skin. You need to take the bad with the good. You might get some negative and mean comments. You must take them with a grain of salt and move on without letting them hinder you.
You need to believe in yourself and what you are doing. if you are working hard and trying to share what you know, don’t let the comments of others hurt or deter you. You are a valuable person who deserves respect.
Thank you for reading. Good luck to you!!!
