People are always complaining about something. It's hard to please the masses.
The thing is with Medium, you never know what's going on or what will happen next. I guess that's why people get pissed off. Maybe if they were more open it would ease some tensions.
I agree with you though. I feel eventually things will pick up again. Or a new platform just as good or better than Medium will be created, then we will see what happens when Medium is faced with some real writing platform competition 🤣.
