What is the Reason behind Decreased Followers?
The Mysterious Case of the Vanishing Followers
I woke up to a shocking surprise this morning. My Medium followers had plummeted overnight, leaving me bewildered and scratching my head. Just yesterday, I had 852 followers, but when I checked my profile this morning, the number had dwindled to 762. A whopping 90 followers had vanished into thin air!
As a human, it's natural to feel a pang of disappointment and confusion when something like this happens. I mean, who doesn't love seeing their follower count grow? It's a validation of our hard work and dedication to creating content that resonates with others.
But what really got me thinking was the sheer number of followers I lost. 90 is not a small number, right! It’s a significant chunk of my audience, and I couldn’t help but wonder what had caused this sudden exodus.
Was it something I wrote? Did I inadvertently offend someone? Or was it just a glitch on Medium's end? I've experienced fluctuations in my follower count before, but never to this extent. Usually, it's just a single follower here or there, or maybe a small batch of 10-15. But 90? That's unprecedented.
As I sat there, staring at my screen in disbelief, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. What if this was more than just a glitch? What if there was something fundamentally wrong with my content or my approach?
But as I took a step back and began to analyze the situation, I realized that it's unlikely that 90 people would unfollow me at the same time. I mean, think about it – it's not like I posted something controversial or offensive that would trigger a mass exodus. My content is pretty straightforward, and I strive to provide value to my readers.
So, what's the likely explanation? In my opinion, it's probably just a technical glitch on Medium's end. Maybe there was a bug in their system that caused a temporary discrepancy in my follower count. Or perhaps it was a simple error that will be rectified soon.
As I reflected on this experience, I realized that it's a good reminder that our online presence is fragile and ephemeral. Our follower counts can fluctuate at any moment, and we can't take anything for granted. It's a humbling experience, to say the least.
But here's the thing – even though I lost 90 followers, I'm not going to let it get me down. I'm going to keep creating content that I'm passionate about, and I'm going to keep engaging with my audience. Because at the end of the day, it's not about the numbers – it's about the connections we make and the value we provide.
So, to all my fellow creators out there, don't get too discouraged if you experience a similar setback. Remember that it's just a numbers game, and it's not a reflection of your worth or the quality of your content. Keep doing what you're doing, and the right people will find you.
And to Medium, if you're reading this, please do look into this issue! I'm sure I'm not the only one who's experienced this glitch, and it would be great to get some clarity on what happened.
That’s all for now, friends! Thanks for reading, and I’ll catch you all in the next post.
