21 Odd Habits of Medium Writers

Curious things Medium writers do that most “normal” people don't

You write on Medium which makes you part of an exclusive group of writers on the internet. You’re here to express yourself, try to make some money on the platform and connect with other readers.

Your days are filled with odd little activities that most “normal” people usually don’t spend their day doing. It may be part of your normal daily routine but not anyone else’s. Medium writers have a unique set of quirks and oddities about them.

You’ll likely only understand these odd quirks and behavior if you write on Medium. Check out these 21 oddities of Medium writers and see how many of the following you might be doing each day.

From morning to night, you are going to your Medium profile page or your Medium app to see if anyone has read your posts, highlighted your posts, commented on your posts or replied to one of our posts. You refresh the Medium homepage to see the almighty green dot notifications. You look for new visitors, new readers, new commenters, and new followers. The green dot is your daily green light. It’s Christmas every day that you see the greed dot notifications. It’s basically the only positive light in your life at the moment!

Another reason you’re checking your notifications is to see if your article got published or not. You had sent in your article weeks ago and still no response from the publication yet. Did they like it? Did they hate it? Are they going to respond or pretend like you don’t exist? Are they delaying in letting you know about when they are going to publish your post or did they reject it? A good chunk of your mind is thinking will they/won’t they when it comes to submitted posts. Your life becomes a waiting game of hearing back from publications. Your self-worth becomes tied to what publications have to say about your submission.
