Saw my Medium reached 10k followers.

Funny cuz it feels like crickets for years.

But I just kept publishing regardless.

- 1 → 100 followers: 3 years and 7 months
- 100 → 1,000 followers: 7 months
- 1,000 → 10,000 followers: 5 months

This is what time can do.

$1,000 is definitely not enough to make a living.

When I mentioned it to a friend, he laughed it off.

And I debated whether to turn on the paid option at all, but in the end, I went for it.

Incredibly grateful for the support.
