I don't want to be the little old lady with the hat pin that pops your balloon, but no. They do the F4F and that's it. No reading. No commenting. No engagement. Nothing. That's why they fail and that's why it's against Medium Rules.

I see you're up to 88 followers now so hopefully that means my short post about you yesterday is working. But I also told my followers to read you first and then follow you if they saw fit.

You're getting there. One honest post at a time.
