Improving Medium: Noticing Positive Changes on the Platform

Chapter 1: Observations on Medium's Adjustments
Have you observed any shifts on Medium recently? While it may not seem overly thrilling, I believe it signifies progress.
This paragraph will result in an indented block of text, typically used for quoting other text.
Section 1.1: The Impact of Account Clean-Up
Since the widespread suspension and banning of dubious accounts, I've noticed some improvements on the platform. These enhancements aren't related to the revamped stats page or the sporadic story suggestion prompts, which are not my focus.
What I am referring to is the noticeable decline in the number of fake accounts responding to my comments on other writers' pieces, prompting me to connect with them on Telegram or WhatsApp—a practice I avoid, and you should too.
It may just be my perception, but it seems Medium is genuinely making an effort to eliminate these accounts swiftly.
Subsection 1.1.1: Changes in Follower Growth
Another observation that supports my conclusion is the slowdown in the rate of follower growth. Many of us likely experienced a dip in followers during Medium's account "clean-up" phase.
I suspect that a significant portion of these accounts were either bots or fake users. Back in February, I was gaining around 10 to 15 followers daily, but now it has decreased to about 6 to 8 a day, or even less.
It is important to note that my publishing habits and engagement with fellow writers have remained unchanged; I still publish daily. On a positive note, my reading metrics have seen a slight increase.
Again, I wonder if I am the only one noticing these developments. What about you? Have you experienced any shifts?
Section 1.2: Share Your Experiences
I'd love to hear your insights on this matter.
