Ditto. Ditto. Ditto.

My articles used to get regularly curated by Medium in 2019. Then the pandemic arrived, I wrote a few pieces on natural immunity that “violated” community guidelines (and were promptly removed), and the next thing I knew l was on the cyber equivalent of Medium’s No-Fly list with my articles reaching almost no one.

I’ve found over the past few years that unless an article (a) rants about Trump/The Right, (b) rants about race, or (c) raps about gender issues, NO one will see it.

There is virtually no content here of interest to me anymore. Nothing new or exciting. Just a constant re-tread of the same thoughts. I have long suspected that some of the most popular writers on this platform are AI (I’m pretty sure you know which ones I’m referring to), with their daily regurgitations of the same buzzwords, rearranged in Mad Libs fashion, like Groundhog day. Reading these comments has now convinced me that this is likely the case.

Medium has become an unbearable echo chamber of censorship run by the Literary Gestapo. I’m terminating my account this week. I’ve already set up my Substack account and connecting with people who appreciate my content.

I feel for all of the good, thought-provoking writers who are dying on the vine here.
Good luck to those who choose to stick around. Hope to see you in greener pastures.
