thats the difference between self-promotion and elevating a conversation 😃. I think Medium does understand this, and as I noted the other day, while one may annoy the selfish by linking in comments, the conscientious writer and reader does not react that way to me, and Medium only cares if one links to something off-site that generates revenue for the writer--Medium deems that spam

Anyway, thank you for the compliment and I'm glad that this piece resonated with you
