I can’t speak for others, but for me, it’s not about the money and never was. If it was, I would have left long ago, as I make maybe 10-20% of what I used to make, but I love my followers and readers. Of course, that’s easy for me to say, as I don’t need that money to survive.
For me, it’s about respect and integrity. It’s about transparency and honesty. Those are essential qualities I value and try to exemplify, and that makes the current situation challenging for me. I’ll make a decision about whether or not to continue posting here after I move to my new home in April/Nay. In the meantime, I’ll continue to post on Fridays.
It sounds like the businesses you ran would’ve been great to work in, not that I have any talent for design! I know you’re a great friend to have. Blessings to you and lots of love.
