There aren't too many of us yet because it only launched a couple of weeks ago, but the few people in there are each really sweet and thoughtful.

I've just gone ahead and added you as a writer for TT! It's an opt-in editing system, so I'd only touch your pieces if you want me to. It's not an enormous publication, but it's growing, and would likely have a higher built in audience than self-publishing still. Medium doesn't give you a lot of means to grow your account, but there are small things that help a little bit. I think you're right that in a lot of ways the platform is more geared toward celebrities, AI and cheap nonsense, but occasionally the writers who deserve it find success authentically.

Anyway, I'd be curious to check out your Youtube if you wanted to share. Glad you ended up finding the article, and that the algorithm didn't bury me too deeply! Thanks again for the comment.
