You are right. And I’ve largely stopped writing for Medium after they canned a bunch of editors without warning (I only found out cause they had my phone number—their emails had been cancelled). I don’t think they know where they are going or what they want, and they’ve dropped the ball on me several times. I’m so over it. I write for magazines and publishers, nonfiction and fiction. Publishing is a sharknado, but at least I get paid over on that side. Here? Not anymore. I didn’t leave a dear John but maybe I should follow your lead.
