Introduction

If you’re reading this, you’re likely a fellow Medium contributor, and if so, you’re probably enrolled in the Medium Partner Program.™

And if that’s the case, then, well…it’s time to get real.

Sure, you can wax poetic all you want about using this forum as a canvas for your “art” or a mouthpiece for your views, but at the end of the day…what is this really all about?

Let’s face it, we’re reaching the era of late-stage capitalism where money is driving literally every human action, and interaction. So no, you’re not here to create anything with literary merit, and you shouldn’t care much about the “craft” of the written word. You’re not here to impart wisdom, share your life experience, or offer opinions on important controversial topics. Hell, you’re not even here to dispense useful information. You’re just here to generate content.

Which means you’re here to make money, but the only way to do that is to generate as much content as you can, as quickly as you can.
