I always have to take “deep breaths” when other writers feel compelled to constantly say: medium doesn’t encourage, generate or elevate professional writers….but was happy to hear you pivoted to a valid point:
Editors help vet quality articles and I think you make a very good point.

Love that you’ve created your pub and are editing; you are a talented and professional writer and I have no doubt you’ll continue to find success.

You’ve made me reflect upon why I publish in certain pubs…and I think it’s for mixed reasons.

Keep writing!! Love when you share your .02!!
