I normally don't read articles that complain about Medium but I read this because it was you, Carol, and I hadn't read any other complain-about-Medium articles from you so I thought you might have something new to say.
I don't much miss the "friend" scroll because I seldom used it. If I start scrolling down my feed it's the same people who would be on that scroll so what is the difference?
My earnings are as pathetic as ever but they pay for the subscription plus a slice of pizza or on a good month, two or three. They go up and down depending on how much I put out there.
I hope you will stick around because I am looking forward to reading more about your experiences as a police officer. One of my choir directors is a police officer and she's awesome. I like to think that you are too in your own way, and that you strove to do good when you were there.
I hope you Sherry McGuinn and you James Knight stick around also. Good writers leave which is a drag but new ones arrive.
I'm sticking around because it has become such a habit since 2015 and because I'm so involved with the MuddyUm team. Wouldn't you rather be laughing? I'd say check us out but I'm pretty sure I've seen you there Carol. I'm not on my laptop now so I can't check. The phone app still bites but at least the story editor is back!
