I don't like feeling like I'm being strong armed into the FOM, which is how it feels seeing others do well and my own stats/engagement and payment decrease dramatically. I feel like some FOM's won't bother reading me now because my reads don't count as much monetarily now. I really resent the inbuilt classism they have instilled with this latest venture. But I appreciate your openness and honesty of your own experience. For me it's too expensive if I don't earn it back, and I don't write enough lately to know that I will.
