Lol...what a fucking ride! If you makes you happy and a few pennies richer, that novel bought on Amazon today and heading to New Zealand...that's me. I may have a tough time explaining to the missus why I'm reading a novel called Ballbag - probably best kept as a dirty little secret.
Medium is my abusive boyfriend that I just can’t quit. Like the little girl with the little curl right in the middle of her forehead, when she is good she is very, very, good, and when she is bad, she inspires self-harm.
I immediately recognized your style Frank sir. Now maybe I will read it some more. But also I have a weird tale to tell you! I merely gave an honest, spontaneous response to one article. The thought came to my head "is this written by a man or a woman?" How can I miss, I thought. I was just writing down a thought that suddenly came to me while I was reading it. Apparently the wrong thought. I went agead an placed that exact query into the comment section of this article, an article about Dylan Mulvaney, with some sort of insider TRANS comments or humor, I guess. It was written in other words from one TRANS to another TRANS. Apparently I said just the wrong thing there. So then a third character comes into comments. This individual wrote: "it's a woman," and then made ominous threats.
So, what happened? I held back from replying. I was banned within days. Nobody gets to read my "Medium" pieces or contact me through Medium anymore. That is the real truth, the true story. I think I started to get a little sympathy from one Medium employee but nothing happened and I had to leave "Medium."
Hello Frank. A kindly lady by the name of Cristina here suggested I read your wild and mad ramblings and I'm pleased(?) I did. I wrote a piece, but nowhere near as scathing as you yesterday, entitled "A recipe for a strawberry cheesecake is more popular than me on Medium". What a horrible fucking shit show that place is. Populated by bots/bot accounts and supposed humans who have lost their soul in the quest for the God of Mammon. "I made $107.00 this month on Medium". Utter fucking wankers. Pretend readers just so they can DEMAND you read their vacuous, AI, copy and pasted shit they copied and pasted from someone else. Numbered list articles AI generated bullshit that's so mind numbing and the imperfect representation of the children of The Matrix. Anyway, loved your article. I won't link mine here as that's all rather tacky. I'm sure you'll find it if you want to. Take it easy.
Good comment. Maybe you can read my comment, above, which happens to be about my own experience with the Medium mentality. I tried to put it into words.

Naughty
I did the Medium thing. I’d like to try the rollercoaster one now

"Herbie Hancock's grandma"? (I inquire because I'm a very big fan of Mr. Hancock).
I'd kill for $4.90 on a Medium story. It's been a cold nuclear winter on there for me and I blame everyone but myself.
Drop a link. I will help
Here's my Medium link, if you're on there let me know and I'll give you a follow and check your stuff out! https://medium.com/@thealexanderporter
It doesn't matter who's to blame, so long as there's someone to point the finger at.

I don't see your comment Jacob! I'm guessing it isn't particularly complimentary as regards Medium? Take it easy.
It is really difficult to understand how you could not see it.
