Much to think about Dew, and I hope the powers that be will give due thought to some of your suggestions. It's actually lovely to read something that is both balanced and positive.regarding Medium. I have been on Medium for close to 18 months, but still feel very much a novice when I read some of the negativity about the platform, that is bandied about, dare I say, for readership, rather than for truth.

Thank you for writng a persepctive that is suggestive of hope, rather than otherwise. For me, Medium was manna from heaven. It has opened my eyes to the offerings of worthy writers, and to friendships that I could not have hoped to have as a lone wolf writer...a voice in the wilderness if you like.
