I read your articles, not necessarily every single one, but I doubt that I do that for those of anyone - I'm just not that organised. I value what you write but i have to question some of the assumptions implied by this particular article which also echo that of others i have read on this and other platforms.

I live on a pension of about AUD $27,500 or about USD $18,000. You say that you are writing as an adjunct to an occupation from which, presumably also receive a remuneration. Yet you also say that your "scribbling articles at corner" has brought you almost $59,000 from Medium and another $4000 or so from elsewhere, i.e. as you say, around $63,000. I don't know what currency that is but I assume USD, in which case that is about AUD $93,000 and this is on top of your regular income.

Oh that I were so fortunate.

Yet you are complaining? As much as I value your insight and information on Apple and I find it valuable and interesting, your prose is far from grammatically acceptable for any form of written publication and would be unlikely to be published if it weren't for vehicles such as Medium.

So, although I don't mean to be rude or insulting, it seems to me that you are very fortunate, not as your article suggests, a victim.

Take care. Stay safe. ☮️
