Glen, I am more optimistic about this platform. my impression is that the good stuff, and the consistently good writers do float to the top — or at least there is enough of an audience to allow them to coexist with the parallel universe of fluff.
Yes there is plenty of fluff to cut through, strangely there seems to be an audience for the type of “X things you must do now blah blah” motivational click-bait that I wrote a parody of, same day that I wrote above piece.
Thanks for taking the time!
