It's incredible how naieve I still am at almost 55 years old, actually makes me cringe sometime that I still think like a kid, wandering around assuming everyone is in it with the best intentions.

I love Medium. I come here to read, and occasionally write. Never occurred to me that people would game the system, but there are people that game every system. I like that Medium continues to work to keep from turning into a dumpster fire like some other sites I *used to love*, like Quora...

Thanks for the eye opening piece.
