Besides the constant redesigning of the platform that is forever causing glitches, there is at least one publication that shrages over $20 a month for your submissions to be moved to the front of the line.
There are other publishers on here that have found a way to break the rules. There is a limit of 7 piblications that you are allowed to run. This person sets up multiple accounts and then under each of those accounts establsisheseven more publications.
There is rampant plagiarism. Poor quality work. And that's just off the top of my head. Benny is right, it didn't use to be this way.
However, if you are one of those seemlingly rare individuals who plays by the rules, writes a lot of quality pieces, engages with other writers, then you're going to be fine.
The Washing Post actually interviewed me in Sept because of a piece I wrote Aug LAST YEAR.
