Quick Updates on Writing and Publication Activities
Aiden recently shared his weekly boosted story collection just a few hours ago. We received around 30 new boosted stories that are phenomenal. Weekly Update 1–12 April: Featuring Boosted Stories on ILLUMINATION-Curated.
Here is important news from ILLUMINATION editors who interviewed Dr. Yildiz regarding a new policy for writers of the Lampshade of ILLUMINATION that prevents them from monetizing AI-generated content. I believe all writers can gain insights from this valuable interview. POLICY: No More Monetization of AI-Generated Content on Medium.
Recently, I wrote a brief yet significant piece informing the public that intermittent fasting would not elevate heart disease risk by 91%. AHA’s Public Blunder: Advocating for a Caring Response from Major Media Outlets.
Here’s what Dr. Mehmet Yildiz wrote about this matter. Perfect Storm in a Teacup: Can Intermittent Fasting Increase Heart Disease Risk by 91%? Aiden also crafted a more engaging and interesting narrative surrounding this topic: Why I Believe Fasting Doesn’t Cause Heart Disease But Obesity Does.
As both a writer and reader, if you aspire to be successful, I discovered an incredible business opportunity. However, it is a scam, and I approached it satirically to provide you with some insights and a few laughs. Please don’t take it too seriously. Forget Researching & Writing, Just Start Scrolling, Clapping & Highlighting.
Recently, I addressed a significant public health concern, featuring a story that touched my heart. I shared it with my family and friends, and they loved it. Breast Cancer: Why Every Woman (& Man) Should Read This Empowering Story.
I am thrilled that Dr. Yildiz also addressed cancer in a thought-provoking piece, shedding light on the benefits of exercise for preventing 13 types of cancer based on extensive research. How Can Physical Exercise Lower the Risks of at Least 6 Types of Cancers?.
Additionally, I highlighted another inspiring story that might resonate with you: Why and How to Support Women in Tech and in Other Male-Dominated Sectors.
Dr. Yildiz recently discussed the harmful effects of hate speech on social platforms. As you may know, we don’t permit any detrimental content in our publications. ILLUMINATION Does NOT Publish Content with Defamation, Discrimination, and Hate Speech. You may glean valuable insights from his experience and perspectives. From Toxicity to Tolerance: Understanding the Causes of Hate Comments on NewsBreak vs Supportive Medium Community.
We recently released our new newsletter, which will be beneficial for new writers. We welcomed more new writers, so you may find their profiles at the conclusion of this post and consider exploring their narratives. March 2024: Monthly Updates from ILLUMINATION Editorial Team.
Our beloved ILLUMINATION turns four years old. Utilizing Aiden’s older video, I penned a lighthearted story using my amusing Aussie accent. Typically, I don’t communicate or write this way. I hope you enjoy it. Happy 4th Birthday, Beloved ILLUMINATION!.
I shared my thoughts on bulk suspensions. You might have heard that Medium suspended several accounts. We wrote a brief piece about it if you wish to learn more about the details. The Pain of Losing Substantial Subscribers in a Single Day. Dr. Yildiz shared his views on the suspension issue from multiple angles. His narrative made me more empathetic towards both parties involved. Having faced suspension myself a few weeks ago, I understand the pain it can cause. However, the platform must eliminate ineffective users. My Informed Perspectives on Recent Account Suspensions on Medium.
Aiden created an engaging YouTube video for ILLUMINATION-Gaming readers and writers, providing them with helpful boost guidelines. Video Presentation: Boost Guidelines for ILLUMINATION-Gaming.
In a special episode, I shared some boosted stories I read. Some readers enjoy exceptional pieces, so I include them here. Mike’s Favorite Stories on ILLUMINATION Publications — #64.
> Aiden explores the new stories, while I focus on older narratives to offer readers a nostalgic experience. I occasionally add a few recent ones from my daily reading, or sometimes editors prompt me to include exceptional stories. Each narrative is a gem worth your time. Feel free to engage and share on social media so these stories can reach a wider audience. I attempted to follow most writers I hadn’t encountered before, but the system limited me after a while. I learned that I can follow only 150 writers a day, so I’ll try again later.
Here is his latest piece, along with my friend’s link for anyone to read. He has already compiled 115 collections, consistently uncovering gems from hidden corners.

If you’re interested in boosting, Dr. Yildiz recently addressed frequently asked questions from writers and readers about the boost program on Medium, revealing several surprises for me as a writer and editor. I wish I had encountered such information a year ago. It’s no wonder none of my stories received boosts, which caused me to pause writing, but he offers us hope.
