    Meh. I don't necessarily think it's a failure. It's not something I will use, but if others wish to try it, good for them. I'm not mad about it. Mind you, if it was compulsory I would be.

    Great poem as always. I do wonder who will used it?

    I love this. Of all the things they could have changed or added, this feels like an odd one. Good use of the challenge prompt!

    Real, but I know for a fact that hating won't get me anywhere. Now I've decided to just live with the thought that technology makes us develop and developments are unstoppable and don't really care about our opinion. That's our world, impovements had been and will be made, no matter if we like it or not. For me it's just less stressful to be neutral about these things... (there are some that I like though)

  • Hahahahahhahahahaha I love this!!

    I had a similar feeling when I read what they're looking to implement. That's what Medium, Substack, etc. are for. If some writers find a use for paid Vocal subscriptions, more power to them. But I post to Vocal specifically so that my short stories and poetry can be read by as many people as possible.

    Yeah, I saw the email and wasn't impressed, lol.

    Your poem is better than their idea

  • Cindy Calderabout a year ago

    I really didn’t see much of a point in the implementation of such things either. Like your poem. It’s empowering!

  • Denelsia Walkerabout a year ago

    I have been wondering about this.

  • Mark Grahamabout a year ago

    I wondered also about paid subscriptions. I was thinking that I was back on medium.com.
