Many thanks Freddy. I am not really angry or upset but feel a need to be honest. I can see the trap that many get into, and I don't want to be in that. As you say accounts are being revoked, and reading a recent newsletter from medium, this is very true. But aside from the threat of revoking there are other important factors at stake - such as not growing as a writer, etc. I don't believe the read for read thing is any solution for genuine reads, and apart from improving stats, it doesn't really help the writer improve. There are lots of reasons why it's not a good practice. Thanks so much for reading and your comment. Appreciate it.
