Hello
Medium periodically conducts follower purges to remove inactive, fake, or spam accounts from the platform. If you’re noticing a decrease in followers overnight, it’s likely because of such a cleanup process, where Medium is improving the platform’s integrity by eliminating accounts that don’t actively engage with content.

These purges can cause a drop in follower numbers across many profiles. The goal is to ensure that the followers remaining are genuine, helping creators focus on real engagement rather than inflated numbers. It’s a common practice on social platforms to maintain healthy user interaction. Hope this clarifies things while this affects your reads and views it also helps you your legit image. Thanks
