I can relate to this, Tze Lin... I am frustrated enough this time to have started feeling like abandoning Medium altogether. As much as I love the community here, I can't afford to sink hours a day into this site just for the friendships. I could connect with those people off Medium, and use my time and energy on other sources of income!
I love the way you wrote this, my friend. Well done. Here's hoping they fix this soon or there will be a mass exodus, I'm sure. 💜
