Working on bumping these up — slowly and hopefully surely
In case you missed it, Medium announced a new metric available to all writers. Presentations. It is the top of funnel metric before → Views → Reads (≥30s) → Follows/Subscribers per story. To make the best out of this-, treat each step as its own lever.
Where to find it

Tips for writers
1 Think in a funnel, not a single stat.
CTR (click-through):Views / Presentations → title, subtitle, image, and topics/publication fit.
Read rate:Reads / Views → whether the intro delivers on the headline’s promise. (Reads count after ~30s.)
Follow/Sub conversions:Follows or Subs gained / Reads → your bio, end CTA, and perceived “I want more from this writer.”
