Exactly! My mom talked me out of majoring in journalism and into majoring in business because she thought I would be a starving artist. I hear so many complaints about Medium and to me it feels ungrateful. Medium provides an invaluable opportunity to writers and while every writer wants to make money it was historically not the impetus for the 'writer.' The writer's motivation was to have someone read and absorb their written words. That was the true payoff. We are just fortunate the media climate is changing and we have destinations like Medium.
