Did Medium hire a crisis manager that hates reading and writers?

Medium has been my portal to the world, my writer's academy, half of my income, my hope & glory, my late-night intellectual snack, my body of work, my dopamine dealer and short story hooker.

Medium has glorified me and red-flagged me. In the same week.

Now finally, Medium is sacking me.

At least, that’s how it feels, and for many with me.

I’ve been writing pretty continuously for the past 4 years on this platform and have seen its growth, the changes, the despair, and the millions of articles about how to make it on M.

This is gonna be my last one about Medium since… I’m quitting.

No, I’m joking. But I did consider throwing the pen. Many times. But then the realization: There is nothing to quit. Writing is a vocation, at least for me.

And I’ve got 4.8K followers here. Maybe that’s the biggest disillusion of it all,

The amount of followers here don’t mean shit.
