I def. have frustrations with Medium - not least that it often feels like people spinning the same old crud bring in the big bucks, while I'm working my butt off for pennies. Though I try not to rant much (despite the fact that rants are inevitably popular stories.)

I've never found it 'easy' here - but then, I've never found it easy anywhere. I don't expect anything to be easy (though I wouldn't object to it, ofc!) - I just know that I'm stubborn enough to not give up. I don't go down without a fight! Lol.

(Side-note: I'm super jealous of your stats and earnings. Well done though!)
