One of my biggest frustrations on Medium is watching the exponential growth in follower count of populists appealing to their base; whilst those people capable of rational thought, rational argument, and writing nuanced piece languish in a semi-read, semi-followed status. It’s so frustrating to see an ocean of endless raging guff when you log in - and know you’re going to actually have to tosh for gold in a quagmire of outrage sewage. Luckily, one of my heuristics for finding literary gold is coming straight here when you’ve written an article - and on this one you’ve excelled yourself more than normal. :o)
