F#(% All The “Get Rich” Schemes on Medium
Work Hard, Develop Your Skills, & Invest Your Time
Sweet fucking Jesus, people.
It’s long since time that we had a talk about what’s happened here on Medium. There’s a trend that’s taken root here which, I believe, is hurting people, not helping them.
You know what I’m talking about, right? I’m talking about the unending number of writers sharing all of their “easy” and “fast” ways that you, too, can make $547,872.23 in no time at all!
OMG, really!?!
Um, no. While Medium has been — and will continue to be — my preferred platform for mostly civil discourse, this total wad of horseshit needs to stop.
The only way I think I can help stop it is, honestly, to educate you.
The Helping Principle
I’m on Medium for one reason and one reason only: to educate and help you. In fact, helping others is the only test that all of my writing must pass before I put it out into the world. When I re-read a final draft, I’ll only publish it if I believe it will help others in some way.
My time with you here is short and precious. More importantly, it’s a symbiotic relationship that I believe we have with one another on Medium. I help you in all…
