Medium, I bought a subscription for Members Only content because I want to support your mission of supporting quality publishing and writing from small-scale creators. It makes sense that you would mix in articles from appealing mainstream publications like The Atlantic, but I appreciate more the originality and sense of community from Medium writers and publishers that are not mainstream.

Medium and Ev Williams, I support publications like Code Like A Girl that are working to amplify the voices of everyday people to inform, teach, and supportMedium readers.

Please do not remove the ability of publications to request content.

Please work with publications to make joining publications easy for both writers and publications.

Please work with publications to make it easier for them to communicate with their writers in a way that doesn’t require them to leave your platform.
