Medium and Ghost provide exactly zero value for discoverability. All views come from large content aggregators - Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, HackerNews etc.


I dont think Ghost is supposed to but yes with Medium, they are supposed to show your stuff off and as someone that has been testing out titles, tags, images, post volumes etc. I can tell you I know for a fact nothing you do will get your stuff seen unless Medium feels like helping you. Pro tip, want a lot of views write about any of the hot social and political topics and take the popular mainstream stance and you will likely get a shit load of views.
