Medium was warned
Well I warned Medium
for what good it did
I told them
their publication pay route was crazy
I now will add
the upgrade ploy is hopeless
+
Why upgrade to a failing model
logic-less
Logic looks for good results
+
I am sorry about this
It reminds me of
Twitter Ads
It insults users
+
Google has some glaring faults
but success was no secret
All those little text ads
added up and
were a way
of spreading wealth
+
Twitter-Medium is trying
to make writers complicit
in a scheme that ‘s
self-defeating
+
A firewall of any sort serves
but one interest only
and not well
+
Either pay individuals
or let individuals
post little ads
where they like
+
I won’t add Medium
to subscriptions
+
If writers I admire
are inaccessible
I wish them well
A price upon a head
really
+
If the result is
no more Medium
no more Twitter
there’ll be no surprise
The warning signs were there
