You're right I didn't really notice it, or add up what it meant.
I'm demotivated by Medium's ways too, hence I put more effort into what I write & publish elsewhere - I miss the old days.
You say you're only writing occaisionally, but could I ask a favour? I own Teaser Tales now (which is also suffering a dip in reader/writer interest) & I am trying to build interest up with a monthly newsletter.
In November I thought I'd interview some of its most successful writers ... which brings me to your door!
I Only need 2-3 sentences on anything really. Feel free to imagine the question to which you give an answer : your writing on Medium OR your writing journey OR about yourself ...
