Is this reference to the degree of control that members have over the distribution of their membership fees?

If many members' motivation for paying Medium is the desire to direct their membership fee to specific writers, what is the rationale for rejecting control in favor of simplicity, rather than giving members the choice between default-simplicity and manual-control?

You’ve explored these issues far more thoroughly than most people have (including me), so I’m sure that there’s a good reason for this choice that I haven’t figured out yet.

Because of your expertise, and your unique ability/opportunity to redefine the future of content on the internet, I think many people would love more insight into your rationale.
