Happy Friday, I used to live next door to a woman that became a really good friend. We’d go to antique sales and exclaim over depression glass and sit for hours over coffee. She had a weird habit. When she got something new, she’d never mention it. She’d wait to see if you noticed. Hey, is that a new coffee table? That way if you didn’t like it, you didn’t have to say anything. lol.
If I just start in reading there is no heart. No nada. But I clicked on something an image appeared and the rest of the post as if it were on my desktop. Perhaps because I have ‘no mages’ checked.? I really appreciate your how tos because Medium doesn’t a how de do to how to. Craig
One thing sure about Medium: there will always be changes. Nice that you can import your mailing lists but Medium is, for the most part, behind a firewall. Will all of those subscribers have to pay their $5/mo to read your posts? How many will do that? How many will be offended once they see that's the case?
I can see how it pays for Medium to allow it but I can also see big problems if most of your subscribers are outside of Medium and possibly don't even know what Medium is. This could come as quite a shock.
That's a really good question, for sure. God, wouldn't that be confusing for them? Strangely, that's how I found Medium forever ago. Someone sent a newsletter with a link to an article on Medium. I was like -- wait, what's this?
The only change I wanted to see was writers being paid a monthly amount--$250 would've been okay with me--for publishing at least 10 posts a month. Or, writers being paid on views AND reading time AND claps, plus the monthly minimum.
I deactivated my account and moved to Substack, where they LOVE writers and want them to do well.

Yup, if you have images off, that's probably it. Thanks on the how to how de do. lol
Interesting updates! Thanks for being eyes and brain for me
lol. You're very welcome.
I don't know that Projector will change much (on Medium, I mean). After all, Medium writers who wanted to use Canva had that option for a long time.
I wonder if they're going to add the functionality the same way they added Unsplash. Time will tell, I guess. :)

There. You got my heart. ;)
And you, mine. ;)
