Medium doesn’t suck, actually?

Yesterday, I made a Medium account and started importing stories from here onto it. I was listening to the Writer's Well, one of my favourite writing podcasts, and J Thorn from the show was talking about his recent blogging project, where he writes articles on living the author life and distributes them to various platforms - a podcast, YouTube, Medium, Soundcloud etc. He noted that Medium had been the most successful, and that thanks to Publications, which are essentially curated collections of articles that boost visibility, he'd done pretty well there. I was hesitant before, but with his recommendation, I went home straight away and made my account.

Yes, capitalism is exhausting us, but why?

Recently the old(ish) adage of "capitalism leaves us all too exhausted to pursue our hobbies" has been going around. I agree with it, because even though I'm able to keep up with most of my interests right now, I have to viciously eke out time. And then on the days where I am really ~productive~, I cap out at 7pm and don't have the energy to do anything worthwhile.
