This is pure idiocy. Medium isn’t just jacking around with bullshit “writing about writing” pieces. It’s also devaluing the best writing on the site. Would you kindly stop doing exactly what you are (incorrectly) accusing others of doing? You don’t have the slightest idea what you’re taking about.
This is my livelihood you’re cavalierly talking about with zero understanding. I’ve been a professional writer all my life. I’m producing high-quality work, but now I’ve been purposely forced to transition most of my work to other platforms. Well, Medium can do that if they want, of course, but it’s irritating that you’re defending that move without understanding what’s happening.
