That's what I have gathered too! That it takes time and followers. I am curious what that more “passive” followers count is… I have close to 100 and I average about 20–100 views a day. When I first came on to the platform I was getting 7 views a day. So I have to wonder if the more followers I have the more I can consistently expect even more views a day. What do you know about the Medium algorithm? And article backlog? I have old articles that are starting to get views, and I don’t know how people are finding them, or how long I can expect people to keep finding them.
