It's just tiredsome and when you start feeling like you're being taken advantage of its time to do something different before I let it ruin my view on more than just writing and Medium. I respect your opinion and understand where you're coming from. Thanks for reading as well as letting me know how you feel.

And for what it's worth, I've decided there's no reason not to post whatever I post to substack or elsewhere here as well. I've invested too much time and money into Medium to not continue to post here it's just between the lack of support I receive from Medium, both financially and algorithmically being my views don't line up with their politics.

And I did start a substack before I wrote this. When I said I was eventually moving exclusively to substack, I quickly realized I'd only be spiting myself and readers like you who apparently appreciate my work here.

It's just the work, dedication and time I've invested into Medium and continue to, is exponentially more than what I see in return, both financially and exposure wise.

I've been writing here regularly since 2016 and have put myself in a position where I need to make writing work for me, and I'm going to one way or another, whether it's here, elsewhere, or everywhere.

Thanks again for reading and your thoughts.
