I had to skim through this because I expected more. It’s wonderful that you’re able to make that kind of coin per month. Truly. Bravo. But most of us cannot. Even the “quality” writers, who I count myself among.
I’ve discovered that on Medium, there are the chosen, and there is everyone else. And no, by and large, readers aren’t “savvy,” they’re gullible, which saddens me. Not all, but many.
I do agree with your comment about Helen Cassidy Page. Talented, and beautiful, inside and out.
I’m sorry you don’t have the time to read writers like myself. I, too, read actual books, but I understand the concept of “getting back what you put in.” So, I do my best to support those writers here who deserve more than they’re getting back on this platform. I feel their pain.
No disrespect. Just my opinion. Thank you for sharing your insight.
