Writing never was my profession. But I made meaningful money from my freelance writing.
Everyone can write. But it takes skillful editors to see the wheat from the weeds.
I know the value of my writings. I make only pennies on Medium. It is not my problem; it is a problem of Medium.
The distrust of media in the United States is higher than ever before. Whatever media venture will be first recognizing the failures of the mainstream media as the business opportunity, that venture will be the largest worldwide media company five years down the road. From all the media ventures I know, Medium is the best positioned to do that. But Ev does not see it. Yet.
Again, I have articles on Medium elaborating on this subject, but no links.
