Publications are an editor’s oyster, writers are entirely different
If I did all that I would probably feel the same way. Writing is learned by doing. The more the better. To enhance a publication your way is fine. I just think Medium should compensate writing not publications. How about a penny a clap?
Twitter is not exactly on the ball when it comes to these matters. Google made masses by cutting users in. It was win win.Twitter-Medium does not honor users. It tries to figure out a problem for which the answer is already pretty plain. Must be something about San Francisco proper.
