Tony, you write in long parables, as Jesus did. Let me remind you that Jesus did not run a business. And, please remember how he ended up. Before playing Jesus, you better have a plan on how to pull the same trick that Jesus did after the crucifixion.
Also, I am offended by your assumption that people urging you to act on fixing Medium are motivated by making more money there. Reasonable people do not look at getting a fish today; they try to figure out how to build a pond or maybe a lake, preferably a big one, where they and many others could fish for a long time. Hence, instead of peeking into my wallet, think about yours because you have a chance to be a manager of that big pond. From what I have heard and seen so far, it is not an option you envision. Please correct me if I am wrong.
