HORSE TRANQUILIZER
Frank Decided He Wouldn’t Write About Medium
He would write about flowers instead
Frank woke up this morning with a new light in his eyes, one full of dollar signs. Big beautiful dollar signs, in fact.
He learned from Medium’s latest once-in-a-blue-moon newsletter that meta-stories would no longer make money.
Medium does not find value in its critics.
This is something Medium shares with Donald Trump. Critics are absolutely naughty and not at all good for Medium’s minty brand — they must crack down on them!
I mean who wants to hear about the problems online writers face in the age of technofeudalism?
Certainly not your average armchair reader. Oh no.
I SAID NO!
So Frank, being the ever-adaptive little killfish that he is, has made the shrewd decision to adapt with the times, remove his critical faculties, swallow any and all elephants he sees with the world of online writing, and…
WRITE ABOUT BIRDS, BEES, AND FLOWERS INSTEAD.
