Counts words in a medium.com article. Adds a rough word count at the top of each Medium story next to the read time.

Counts number of words in a Medium story.

Steps

• Open a Medium article, waits a sec or two for the page to load.
• Estimates a rough word count.
• Alters page content to add word count next to read time.

Why?
I have limited content consumption time so I end up looking at prominent figures and reading the main dots.
For this reason, read time isn't significant to me, compared to word count.
If you're a writer, word count is an interesting metric to track in your niche.
