I have published only 107 stories and 3324 comments during my almost six years with Medium. Neither of the two gave me an audience.

I write when noticing that the truth does not align well with the mainstream mantra. No one likes that. Wildly few people praise my writing.

I offended a few of my supporters by telling them to tell others what they like about my writing and telling me what they dislike. Posting a text means I know it is good; confirmation is unnecessary.

I apply the same approach when commenting. No need to say other writers loathe that. Many blocked me; I did not block anyone.

Many articles on Medium are full of dystopian visions. I lived in a dystopian society. Writing like mine got us out of there. If someone knows a better way, I am listening.
