Sorry you’re feeling so frustrated about Medium…
Just one point I wanted to share about emails: I get them all and frankly, it’s too much. I’ve wanted to write my own rant but I feel I would be misunderstood.
So wanted to share: I at times: choose not to email a piece to my subscribers. I have reasons for it but I hate a cluttered inbox and so I respect my subscribers that way: from my POV.
But I think for the most part—when we subscribe, most writers are sending everything to their subscribers and the emails go out. (And I agree: flukes happen…)
Recently a writer forgot to hit “the monetize” option. I am certain some writers “forget” or don’t check or notice that the email to subscribers is unchecked…
You may have meant something entirely different from this. Sharing just in case it helps!
Much kindness to you!
