I appreciate your honest opinion, especially as a long-time user. I have been writing on this platform since December and while I do have some engagement, which is nice (on Medium I got none unless I spent hours peddling my articles on social media), still no considerable earnings; in fact, I've lost money. While I do love to write and express myself, I think it's best to put my creative energies where they are most likely to be reciprocated as I have many balls in my court at any given time. So this is good to know. Also, you write beautifully -- I really like your style!
