Now THIS is why I like Substack ( although I think that they could've found a slightly more MEMORABLE name..... ) ! I got slightly soured by Medium after people started posting about earning extra $ by getting paid to post on it, for 1 thing. They had a contributor who kept posting content that looked as if it was taken from the Enquirer & similar tabloids & another who kept writing about wife - swapping & orgies fueled by LSD, 'shrooms & Ecstasy.
Yeah, the quality of content ping - ponged from well thought out articles to the previously - mentioned " tabloid guy " to people discussing their sex lives & bedroom escapades to those bombing on about their monetary intake. I may return someday, it just cost $ 5.00 US monthly to subscribe. I wrote for Wordpress, but I was barred for using imagery without giving proper accreditation & possibly inviting legal action on them. It just never OCCURED to me that using someone else's intellectual property without permission might be a bad thing. Oy Gevalt !
To be fair, Medium ALSO frowns on not posting the creator ( s ) of graphics, photos, etc. I used some webcam work that I had done before.
I watched " The Critical Drinker " channel on Youtube. He reviewed " Blade Runner ". It was worth being sidetracked for roughly 20 minutes ! Roy Batty ( the late Rutger Hauer ) was the ANTIhero. Dr. Eldon Tyrell was a PUTZ. No clearcut heroes or villains. If you haven't seen it, find a copy. It was & is that good.

Wowzers, medium sounds heavy. I agree Dan - you want content that you asked for - I think Substack is a good spot for genuine work.

Haha, agree with much of the ping pong 🏓 the intellectual property thing is also a puzzle lol
