How I Made [insert numerical value here] on Medium
Care and best wishes to Amalia who found someone plagiarized one of their Medium stories.
And apologies if this piece’s title is striking in some way. I am by no means intending to steal anyone’s ideas(all appropriate credits for the original title go to Amalia).
The thing is, everyone should be able to post their own original, unabridged, wholly unique content on this amazing platform(as the same with other platforms). There need not be any intended or unintended copy and paste or blantant duplications. Certainly, there will be profound similarities in the substance of any produced content or even possible redundancies in messages. But that is part of the unbounded complexity and wonder of our shared human experiences — truths and insights of ever-abounding intricacies can be molded and elaborated in countless modes and variations.
Let’s briefly consider just a few of the unique variations of the message shared by Amalia.
“How I made thousands of connections to other writers on Medium from humble beginnings. . .”
“How I made thousands of dollars on Medium from one [or a few] stories. . .”
“How I reached thousands of new insights from reading countless brilliant articles. . .”
“How I spent thousands of hours of time wisely reading and writing on Medium. . .”
And we could go on. But a deeper point here is that one need not steal others’ brilliant ideas, points, and insights. Mine your own gems and jewels from the unlimited riches unfolding around you, and passionately share them in ways you personally find best.
