I have acquired followers and subscribers. Yet I am still a bottom writer. I suspect many of them were bona fide real people, but looking for a quid-pro-quo link. And that link was more about me reading their stuff rather than the other way around.

Has AI infiltrated Medium? To what gain, I cannot say. But probably.

My rule is not to follow someone who has not shown some degree of intellect to me. And I find interesting.

I don't subscribe because my email box is already too cluttered. But Benjamin Sledge has earned this privilege because I think he is one of the few to go beyond Medium someday.

BTW, I have not heard from you (and your stories of the Gnostic Bible) for a couple of years. Either the Medium algos were hiding you from me or you truly disappeared. I saw your stuff on my feed a week ago.
