So very true. Medium has changed over the years, as all platforms do, and I suspect certain 'big names' aren't being viewed, respected or getting the attention they used to and it doesn't sit well with some egos.
I've been on and off Medium for awhile and see it as a fun place to write, read and engage with other like- minded people.
Though, after reading this piece I am now on the look out for the next 'big' platform. Maybe, I'll be able to get in early, put in the work and one day become a fallen giant π. It will be a fun experiment when the time comes.
Nice piece, thanks for sharing π.
