I generally agree with your sentiment, but it’s important to note that Medium is lucky to have us as well.

The relationship is symbiotic — they need content because that’s what they sell.

When writers take the mindset of, “I’m lucky that someone is willing to pay me” it ingrains a mindset of undervaluing your work.

You make yourself replaceable.

So, I agree — it’s important and valuable to have this kind of marketplace where we can exchange our content for payment, but the marketplace has no value without the content.
