I Was Ready to Leave Medium
Until this happened
Back in January, a fellow writer was bullied beyond belief by another writer. It was the story that shocked Medium I think. So many writers were talking about it and SO disgusted by it. Many reported the story, the author and the publication it appeared on.
You can read more about my thoughts on it here:
It was absolutely horrific.
Anyway, I waited back a little over a week before Medium finally replied to my report (I actually reported it twice). In a generic email response they assured me they would look into it and take necessary action.
Ok.
Another week went by and this story was still up and very active on Medium. They had done nothing. I emailed them again asking if bullying was now allowed on Medium because I was sure it never used to be.
For almost one month this story continued to stay on Medium and make money.
