Here we differ again, although I like your idea about thee being a place for good writers.:)

I think writing is a talent honed during one's childhood years through excessive reading.

I would have put Medium as a blogging site originally, then change to a content writing site, and now it's morphinginto a blogging sitea again.

To be honest, I don't know what to think. That's wnyI'm asking?

Did you read the work of the competition winners? I haven't said anything on my articles, but everyone I've asked outside of Medium thinks the pieces are awful, boring, and longwinded. Apparently, many of the top writers have decided to leave because of it.

I'm not surprised. I would like your opinion on this, though, precisely because we think so differently.
