A Personal Message: My Presence Here, Read.cash & Writing
Those of you who have followed me here for a long time, have probably noticed that my publishing frequency here is lower than before. It is easy to believe that the reason would be the lower tips from Rusty these days, but that is really secondary; I started to lower the publishing tempo quite long before the present fall in tips. The main reason is simply lack of time. Other projects claim my time and certain events in my offline life require more of my attention; I have less time available for as well writing as reading on Read.cash. It doesn't mean that I am on my way to disappear, at least not right now, just that I will be here a little less.
As for the future of Read.cash, none of us know anything for sure about that. If the tips are fading away, it is likely that many members will leave the platform and then Read.cash will lose its specific dynamics. It would be a pity, because it has evolved to a place with a very special atmosphere.
For the moment, and until further notice, I will continue my two series, “Quizzes & Puzzles” and “Suggested Reading”. They are both rather popular, and I think they fill a function. Other articles have a lower priority and will turn up when I have time available. Unlike many others, I feel no pressure that I would have to publish something every day. In the long run, it is better not to do so – otherwise readers become oversaturated. That is especially the case with very clearly niched writers, but to some extent it holds for everyone.
Incidentally, someone being very clearly niched will always become boring quickly. There is no topic in the world anyone can write about every day without repeating themselves or becoming so predictive that one knows what they will say before they say it. That's one reason why I personally like versatile authors, or versatile people in general.
Just as I have seen others discuss, my sponsorship payments are also stuck on “pending”. I cannot do anything about that... just wait and see if it will be fixed. However, without mentioning specific names (you know who you are) I want to take this opportunity to thank sponsors, present or previous, as well as subscribers, upvoters, commentators, and other readers.
As for my communities, until further notice I will continue to moderate them regularly .

The solution I use is to mix my efforts IRL with publication on Read.Cash
I have been consumed by efforts lately fully immersed IRL. Straddling the gap between sedentary publication and the intensity of offline activities requires patient effort, but I must say it is a fulfilling task.
