I was here before the Partner Program existed and I don't mind telling you the quality of the writing was better then. More original. Lots of truly-off-the-wall and experimental stuff. The feed was uncluttered with Five Ways to Make Big Money on Medium & clones. Nor were there writers whinging about how they weren't making enough money. Honestly Roz, much as I love you, if you are going to spend all your time pissing and moaning, you know where the door is. Maybe I'll see you in Funny Times. I'm sure the rest of you whiney hot-shots know how to recognize an exit sign also.
