Marley, are you sure re: personal publications? I read Ev's announcement as pertaining only to the big publications which Medium set up and paid staff to run--like Gen, OneZero, HumanParts, etc. I also read Shannon Ashley's response, which said basically the change will help independent writers, if Medium isn't funneling readers to their own house-run publications. I agree with Shannon that the independent voices--like yours, Marley K--are the most valuable asset on Medium. I'm able to read Black, LGBTQ, ex-evangelical (like Shannon) and other voices here that I don't have access to in MSM or anywhere else. This helps expand my world in positive ways. So I hope you're wrong about the personal pubs! Not to mention I have one of my own (Fourth Wave) and publish virtually everything I write on it! Would you link to the story where you read that news? I want to evaluate and plan. THANKS for all your excellent anti-racist content. Love your stuff.
