Different person from yours, this one was similarly critical and not just with me. I ignored every comment. Nothing. No claps. No response. Studiously avoided communication. I didn't block because I was curious where it would go. And why.

It was bitterness. Jealousy. A sense of entitlement. The writer left Medium. Not before trumpeting the problems with the platform and its writers.

That writer is back. Tail between legs. Couldn't make it work elsewhere.

Good writer. Bad personality.
