Yeah, after some "soul searching," so am I. I decided 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 in the first place. If you or anyone else is interested, I talked about how I arrived at my decision, which involved synchronicity (hence my mentioning soul searching), this morning in my first not paywalled story, and much more. 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"

I did not give Medium a free pass. The way they've handled this turned what could have been an easily doused fire into a raging conflagration.
