I have seen articles on Medium from the academic world. They had zero claps and no comments. On the other hand I have seen poor quality essays with tons of them…

it’s easy understandable that academic material is hard and usually boring for people who are not into it. I have published here an article or two I wrote for university ; Nobody or barely anyone read that …

I don’t know what they think about being an expert or who they know is an expert on what. I write a lot about my country Portugal. But I have a master’s degree in American Culture and Literature.

I’m m not American though nor have I ever been to the USA. Still I think I’m an expert because I studied hard. But doesn’t really matter in the end. What seeks isn’t that. What is it? I have no clue.
