Imagine you weren’t able to tell who wrote the next story on your home feed.
How would that change the dynamic of this platform?
Let’s say we all had anonymous accounts on Medium.
No way to tell who wrote a story. No name, no face attached to it, no gender, no follower count, no links to personal websites, social profiles, or marketing channels. Just our words.
Would the greatest Medium writers still be on top?
Possible upsides:
- Writing is the focus. Personal feelings toward the author don’t matter.
- No gender differences.
- Popularity doesn’t matter.
What would happen? What are your thoughts?
