Excellent post, my friend.

Great points.

It really does appear to me that in the pursuit of gaining more paid members, Ev is busy shooting himself in the foot by some of the really stupid things that are going on.

However, having said that, I also get the issues. Operating with a minimal staff and not being able to generate as much revenue as hoped for are leading to frustration.

This is unfortunate, because I can see Medium dying if no viable solution can be found.
