I read most of these pieces singling you out and attacking you. Quite a few blame you, and writers like you, for bunking up their feeds with crap.

This is bullshit. You are writing stuff that people are consuming and enjoying. If they want to get angry, get angry at the readers who are getting value from your articles or medium for their algorithms.

It upsets me that none of these articles acknowledge that they are a little bit jealous. Maybe they over estimated the audience here. Maybe they overestimate their own talents as writers.

I think it is awesome and good of you to accept that you have a bias and live a privileged life. And to vow to improve your writing.

But please don’t accept everything they say at face value. I see little or no evidence that they are coming clean about their motives.
