Hi Ramona. Finally I am getting back to all my wonderful commenters. My apologies that it has taken so long. I really appreciate your read and your note.

My friend Linda Caroll wrote an excellent Substack newsletter last week about the possibility that Medium is now heading in a new and better direction. I will link her article in my follow up to the hamster post.

I still think Medium is the best of all the similar sites. I guess we do our best to focus on the way we can work with the offerings both on and off Medium. Think of them all collectively and strategically. The good news is: it is not a you are in/you are out scene. Lots of happy medium(yikes, pardon the pun) Oh and just to say: I did not get any of the second bonus either!
