Well thank you for being here for the time you did. I enjoyed some of your articles and you inspired my most successful series of posts. I know what you mean. I am exhcuatsed. I decided to start chasing the boost because hoping it would come to me wasn't really working. But honestly, it's exhausting. I'm now not getting much reading done, because I'm busy editing really good articles that sold for hundreds, even thousands, on the open market, because they're not good enough for the boost program. Really. But you know, when you're close, it seems a shame not to. My husband retires soon. We will do more stuff together, then Medium and working generally will play less of a role in my life.

I hope you enjoy all that new found time!!! I think you have the right attitude.

BTW, I read an article saying Medium's recently gone into profit, so you're not wrong. Obviously a loss making business isn't good, and profit secures a future, hopefully, but yes, it's a change of approach that won't sit well with everyone.
