Hi Sarah, I only started contributing to PSILY this last year, but it was a fit. I don't need much editing typically, but I always appreciated the turn around time, and kind acknowledgements of my work from the editors. I didn't get a big audience, but I got support. I often read your stories and I am with you here. I edit on another pub (volunteer) with two talented people. People submit stuff they haven't even run through basic editing tools. I cannot believe what passes on other pubs. I think the slashing of these pubs is disrupting little communities that formed on Medium, which may be the point. And the volume of Medium writers is vast, so some connection is nice. I also have thought of leaving, but I think that may also be the point. So I am not. Take that, Medium. Now give me my big $8.62 a month I earn. I will keep looking for your writing, Sarah. Gen Xers 4-eva!
