This is a bit of silliness. I’ll say it before you do. But, as I was trying to get through the YouTube interview with the new guy and the phenomenally successful Medium writer with the incredible head of hair. I found myself becoming bored AF.
“Awesome.” Yeah. Right. You just keep saying that, girl.
Admittedly, I know very little about this platform’s recently-anointed wizard but, being the skeptic I am, and, having gotten the financial shaft here for what will be five years in November, I can say, with all certainty, that nothing is gonna change, folks.

Again. Ain’t gonna happen. Because for that to become a reality, those people who make the big bucks, both on the platform and behind it, will have to share the big-ass pie that the rest of us can only drool over.
Oh, we might get a tiny sliver in the beginning. You know, the “honeymoon period,” where all is bright and shiny, and just like a relationship gone stale, culminates in its partners’ mutual revulsion.
