"For those that weren’t, I can understand the anger. I’m angry often these days, and I don’t set out to intentionally offend people, but I do not apologize for writing provocatively." I'm with you on this girlfriend. Genuine writers are here to share stories, opinions and viewpoints, even when they differ from some of those who read our stories. If they don't want to get the real deal, then they should stick to reading regurgitated AI content that agrees with who they are and what they stand for. I for one, plan to stop interacting as much on Medium, if they don't get a handle on the real problems around here - namely spam, scams, and assholes :-)
