There you go! Private messages is what this platform needs.

I'm only going off my experience of writing from my phone.

I took into consideration all of what you've mentioned prior to writing this thought piece.

This platform is for ALL writers.

I, too thought that Medium would be no different than any other social media platform if certain features were added:

LinkedIn is pretty similar to this platform, yet connections and opportunities are easily made.

My last thoughts were just examples that came to mind to drive home the message that Medium could do better in terms of better connecting writers with our audience, one another, and publications.

Humans are creative and will figure out how to connect with one another outside of and back into the platform. However, I would like for Medium to reconsider how we can better connect with one another all in one place.

Thanks for your measure!
