Yes, but keep them siloed. I am here for good writing, not for a bunch of how-to and sales pieces. I have chosen to read some of those stories. I’ve written a few that I think were helpful but should be siloed. I particularly want the ones that are hawking their courses to be placed where people only see them if they’re looking for them.

We all have bills to pay, but there are so many “Buy my course!” stories on here that it can ruin the Medium experience. It took several months of me diligently blocking or hitting “show less like this” to be able to get away from the flood of these pieces, most of which are terribly written.
