Wow, interesting stats. No, fascinating stats. 71% bounce rate - yikes. Where's the "glue" to keep these people on the site?
Had no idea of the demographics on Medium. Didn't know it was skewed so young - now that opens my eyes.
Maybe Tony is stuck in an old pattern -- seems like it. Don't blame him for trying what once worked well for him. But … this is what 99% of a certain class of writers try to do every day - sell their success story to every other writer. It's cluttered the "airways" on Medium to the point where most writers can't breathe any more -- too congested.
A pity - Medium has such potential.
