Yes, sometimes I even feel that there are a few fake successful writers on Medium too. There are a few I won't name who do flaunt some too-good-to-be-true lifestyle on Social Media. They also have impossible kinds of followers. They create that aura with the help of marketing and branding skills. Then they earn by becoming Gurus. You never know if they have a team who writes the articles for them. They can pay salaries to the writers, marketing team, and others in the team from their huge earnings. I may be wrong. May be I am just a jealous guy. But may be I am right.
