It is absolute lunacy. I have been a working writer for Facebook for over a decade, and they have never paid me. In fact, now they hold the contact details of my network hostage and require me to pay them for ads and boosts in order for my connections to see what I am sharing. All bow to the authority of the almighty algorithm. Seems like a bum deal to me.
Thank you so much Nadia. In many ways it was a painful transition for me, to go from being publicly shamed on traditional social media and then having the pain of that experience push me to find my way over here to Substack. But now I’m much happier putting my energy here.
There’s nothing better than the feeling we get when we find out that what we’re putting out is received. Grateful for your presence here and for your support!
I really like this concept of literary prostitution.
