I thought much about what to do. I left some biting comments for and about Mr. Lamb. Then in hypnagogia the other night, I charted my course. I'm not going anywhere and I'll publish outside the paywall until it's sorted out, that way I don't care that the algo is broken. The money was always, well, why not. It's not why I came here. I wrote about that and much more in my first outside of the paywall post, https://medium.com/write-under-the-moon/navigating-towards-acceptance-of-and-coping-with-the-unacceptable-in-the-mediumverse-fe62c96e7061 subtitled "Together with thoughts on time, the dual nature of humans as material and spirit, and reincarnation"

Medium made a bad situation so much worse. It's an absolute PR debacle. Turned what could have been a simmering fire into a conflagration.

And I'm sticking with my FOM through at least another billing cycle, which for me is about 6 weeks from now. I know many think it's a scam. I also know I've seen tangible evidence that the extra fee has gone back to writers, including me.
