Excellent decision. You were effectively spreading yourself too thin on your own pubs to benefit Medium who were not benefitting you back in return. Your valuable efforts will be far more widely appreciated anyway.

As you know, I too have scaled down on Medium and instead started out on Substack and created not one but two new platforms, one using Ghost and now another on Beehive. Both have far more potential than I could ever have enjoyed on Medium. Anyway, well done taking that decision, I totally support you. You deserve no less. Rock on, Tommy, as they say.
