I am sorry that you have had to deal with so much over your health. I can't imagine. Both of my miscarriages caused me to flee Medium for a bit without a word, but I was always back on my feet within a month (ish). Sometimes, life is too heavy to write through.

This last purge with the Partner Program has left people mad. They were getting emails that said their story had violated a specific policy, and people have been taken it very personally. Some quit out of being offended, and I think a lot of people are scared. There are so many rumors that some of being caught up with the bots has to do with over-engagement. I believe it has made a lot of people take a step back. Leaving it much quieter here.
