The most money I ever made in here was from articles I later had to delete due to wishing people dead. Sometimes that's just how I feel about those choosing to be "free" but still risk everyone's lives around them. Medium told me dump the articles or get dumped. I got rid of the articles but they were still out there somehow if people had the links! Yep, being an asshole pays too well in here unfortunately. I dance the line. I'll never wish anyone dead anymore but I'll never toast to their health either if they rile me too far. I never bash Medium people directly. Frankly few in here have name enough to draw traffic to make it worth the time. I go after big fish first or at least the willfully ignorant followers of big fish who will never change until the bullshit they hurl finally effects them too. I always punch up. I only punch at the blissful but dangerously ignorant. Really though, I'd rather my science fiction and science news stories pay the bills but so far, crap is still king. People just can not get enough of it.
