(Trigger warning: Sarcastic intro) It's frustrating, right? You've toiled for hours on a written piece and just want something quick and free to catch the eye of readers on the platform of your choice. Harumph! Bother.
Well - illustrators and photographers and visual creatives have worked for hours too, you know.
I straddle both worlds, but I still don't appreciate the attitude taken by Medium in their weekly email blast. I tried to foster a space for photography and visual artists when I was invited to be part of the development group of writers on the Medium platform 10 years ago... I see where their allegiances align, though. Not much has changed.
Bad form, Medium. Bad form.
