Frankly, I'm tired of reading about this and the only reason I clicked in is to say so. Medium is what it is, and it's not pretty but I have no expectations and see through the curtain and I get out of Medium what I expect, nothing more, nothing less. Those that gripe do not understand that Medium exists for one reason--to make money, boat loads of money, and pretend that it doesn't while pretending to care about writers when it does not. Anyone who wants a peek behind the curtain can read this and the stories of others that I link: https://medium.com/illumination/is-medium-a-malignant-narcissist-1f3d55793bf6
