Comments are counted as stories? That confuses me. Who has time to leave 100 meaningful comments a day? I'd be lucky if I read 10 stories a day. But reading 100 a day. I'm sorry, but that is not sustainable and is not the key to success on Medium.

Interestingly, some of the most successful writers I know don't read much on Medium and don't reply to comments on Medium. I think those at the top of their game don't need engagement. I definitely need engagement. Hee hee
