Thanks Martin. I'll look into it. They told me after my first post that I needed 100 to be able to respond to my followers. So far that hasn't happened even though I have way more than the requisite 100
I think that the Golden age of social media is over, left to die by rampant commercialism and suspect supervision. (I could include the clueless but I am trying to forget.) I have a lingering presence on FB.but just to maintain old friendships
My limited experience on Medium and Substack tells me that the potential here is exponentially greater.
How can the return of Agent Orange to FB and Twitter possibly be a news story? I sense that his new numbers, compared to the old days, will tell which way the wind blows.
Also: My favorite winter day would be about 10 degrees F and sunny.. The air is dry and clear, lit in sunshine. Got one today.
Well Martin, I tried to do a paid subscription, but my perfectly good card was declined.
I have actually written several articles and have over 500 followers but still haven't been given access to respond with my followers to form a relationship nor have I been given the paid option. I must be doing something wrong, or is it the Universe watching my back?
Karen, sorry to hear about the card. Maybe another try? I’m not sure what you are referring with your five hundred followers- is this on Medium? There you join the Partner Program and designate your articles as being available on that. If you’re talking about Substack, maybe this will help: https://substack.com/going-paid-guide
If you’re able to get your card accepted, send me a note and I’ll tell something relevant that will only make sense if you’re able to join. Martin
I like to think I am part of your community. I have always enjoyed and appreciated your writing. Grasshopper is not always relevant to me since I am not a fellow writer, but I still read it BECAUSE it makes me feel connected to you! I value your brain!
I agree that "addiction media" would be a more apt term for social media these days. The only platform I use regularly is Facebook and that is primarily to stay connected to people with shared interests via Facebook groups. My Facebook feed has little of interest these days .. although I confess that I have purchased a number of products advertised to me on Facebook. On a side note, have you been following the criminal sanctions DeSantis has imposed on Florida teachers if they keep books in their classrooms? It's alarming what this portends for the future of so-called public education in the US these days. https://medium.com/@spikedolomite/florida-too-cruel-for-school-9dc00c25218a

Today was twenty degrees, clear and dry with a dusting of snow. Thanks for subscribing! I agree, Trump being on Facebook is a nothing sandwich.
