Happy Friday, Right now the looney tunes are running the circus over at Medium. There’s a lot of dumb posts floating to the top now that Ev stepped down and Tony took over. It will taper off in time, I know. But also? It’s not unique to Medium. Writers screw this up everywhere.
I don't usually reply, although I have been known to if what the writer has said is so dumb that it pisses me off. Usually I unfollow. I've done that to a few writers. The first just complained all the time. Why was I giving her a portion of my membership fee? Gone. The second was a doom&gloomer (you've written about her before and I'm sure you know who I mean). Whine, whine, whine, blame, blame...etc. Gone.
I don't see the point in rewarding the ones I don't want to read.

Yup. I either unfollow or mute. It's a shame people don't stop and think about that before they post nonsense they haven't even checked into.
