I've read numerous of these posts from disgruntled writers who claim that the platform is not what it used to be and that 'all the best writers are leaving.' Well, I can tell you that there are also alot of good ones that are coming on board. I started on Medium at the end of January and I have had nothing but an amazing and postitive experience. I don't know where you old writers are finding all of this toxicity, because I surely haven't yet. I wish you luck.
