I was drawn to Medium by Heather Cox Richardson in 2020. She is the epidemy of the writer Medium thrives on. People who entertain the masses or go viral here lead a life those masses want to emulate. This platform is not a way of life; it can’t be thought of as a way to make a living. If that happens, one first must have a life that will inspire readership and then get the words right. Otherwise, my advice to those who are frustrated is: have fun connecting, reach out by radiating words to those you hope to attract, and don't whine about the dollars—because you're not earning them.
