An interesting article Matt ... then I read your medium profile comment where you say: "I write for people who want to live a happier life in the modern world", and my first reaction was "Mmmm".
I'm not suggesting that you are a bit of a trickster though. I do agree with your overall sentiments about 'grabber money-maker-writers', yet, like you, I too write for people who want to live a happier life.
I chose to 'follow you' some time ago, but this is the first response I've made. I look forward to many other enjoyable reads.
If you have the time, maybe you might 'follow' me, but of course, only if you find my stories of interest to you.
May your day be 'just right' for you, and I hope that you continue to write inspirational stories.
All the best to you and yours,
Fred
