I will say that while there's so much I love about this platform and the amazing people I've met here, now that I write FT for a living, it's tough to pour anywhere close to the passion into this platform as I once did. My latest piece has received a whopping 1 read. 1. Even my first-ever Medium piece did not fare quite so poorly. I'll never leave, but unless a piece is boosted, it seems it will no longer be seen--the difference between my boosted & non-boosted pieces is insane. I wish I could spend as much time here as I once did, but the pay-off in doing so shrinks daily
