Hi Cyn, keep reading and engaging genuinely. This is what I am doing. It's slow growth, all of which is tracked in backend. Everything we do on the web is tracked. It's how web works—stats tells a story. The way to determine who reads, for how long, if readers stay or bounce and how to pay out.

Sooner or later, the stats come in. I've seen this with my clients and know the games people play. Another reason why both Buster and Tony are on FB. Watching what people are doing.

When Medium speaks of growth hacking, they refer to abnormal growth. What is not humanly possible. You cannot be reading 24/7, highlighting, commenting and engaging. You can do this for a while and then face burnout. But some accounts do just this. So, either they have crews or bots doing their dirty deeds.
