Thanks for the tag, Zev.
Fucked up indeed… I think I have been active on Medium for maybe 2 years? a lot has changed since I started. Obviously the less interactive I became (when I left Australia it was difficult to write in some places), the less interaction I recieved. The part that I have struggled with is now being understood.
I have thrown my hands up a bit with Medium, even if I was less interactive I was still able to read and interact with my community, once upon a time. I’m afraid that time is long gone now.
All of the above combined with the lack of universability with the paywall (we have discussed this in private), does make me less inclined to come back.
As a writer and a reader I would like to be proud of my work and sharing the Medium name isn’t particulalry appealing for me right now.
I’m not one to quit, but my writing lately has been dismal and without my community my heart is just not in it.
Maybe I need to put more effort in, this is seriously bullshit!
Hugs to all — you know who you are.
