So, mixed emotions. My first Medium article has got me learning about writing, and journalism, in general. I was confused when it wasn't selected for promotion by Medium's in-house curators(I think the title may have skewed it into the realm of 'clickbait' regardless of the quality of content, which I don't know if I agree with but, I changed the title. Looking for better ideas.) but, then happy when I was asked to publish it under

Anyway, 250 visits with around 38% people staying to read could be worse for a first try, I guess.

Clickbait is a necessary evil in online journalism, but as long as you have the content to back it up you'll do just fine <3

That's my opinion too. It's only a problem when the term clickbait is used in regards to titles when I think the term really should only be used to describe entire articles and a bait and switch that leads to off-topic or useless content, imo. Thanks for the feedback!

Wow. In doing research for tonights Mturk Survivor Trivia, I came across a post on reddit about an earlier mostly defunct fourm. Makes me want to say thank you to all you @Staff for looking out for the good of ALL of us.

All forums die eventually. I think I've been aware of at least nine different forums since I started turking, and that's not even including the FB groups. Some were bigger than others, but most are gone now. I would like to see this one continue for some time, but MTurk hasn't been making it easy these days. What is there to talk about if there's nothing to work on?
