This made me smile, because I can appreciate the frustration on both sides. Sometimes appallingly written articles full of errors go viral and get loads of comments. They have little substance and probably took 10 minutes to write.

Other times, people publish beautifully written pieces that barely get noticed. And that must be frustrating.

My professionally written, well researched, full length articles rarely do well on here.

My short rants about some nonsense do OK, and you can't beat a short piece about Medium that people relate to.

It's a different market and while you're trying to build a following, there's value in realising that, and perhaps holding back on those fantastic insightful articles until you have a lot more followers.

New writers who understand the market will do better than professional writers who don't.
