I've found that blogging on BuyMeACoffee a lot easier to use. Yes, I too am stepping back from Medium. The transition has begun already. I'm backing away for a whole hosts of reasons.
I've been on here for 2 1/2 years and it went from hard to fun to work to in the shitter. BuyMe is so much simpler without all the hate and all of the guess how you can make a million dollars in 7 minutes bs.
I can write there and come here to read. There I don't get lost in the weeds. People follow ME because they want to read ME. Not scroll through endless, mindlessness to get there.
