I lost interest in distribution a long time ago.

I've had plenty of my articles etc. chosen in the past and to be honest, I've rarely seen much if a change in way of views, reads and earnings.

Yes it's nice to have a piece recognized by the Medium overlords but it's ot something that plays on my mind when I sit down to write something new.

But, that's just me. I'm well aware that it can be a great motivator for others and if that's what works then use it 😁.
