I agree and what you say here makes sense . I upgraded to the new Friend level, as I see you have too.
I'm curious what you thought of my Retributive Justice piece, both from a boost perspective and personally. Ironically, another boost nominator whose pub I sometimes contribute to but hasn't chosen to nominate any of my work (I've never been boosted and I don't chase it but would of course love it) told me in a private note in Slack that he found the piece "exceptional" and would have nominated it had I submitted it to his pub. I thanked him and said I really wanted that piece to go into OP as I appreciated you accepting me as a writer and I thought it was a good fit.
