I guess I should reply to this. I mentioned these things because this is what carries cultural power, it’s the stuff all over Medium, other sites, it’s not singling out writers it’s drawing attention to the skewed construction of our culture in what our systems value — poetry is not valued by the system, and for a while it felt really almost valued on Medium which made this place really rare and special for poets. We don’t prop up the values of the dominant culture or the systems — but we had space and value here for a while — that’s my more sociological point.
