This is Why You’re Inferior if You Want Equality

“No one is more inferior than those who insist on being equal” — Nietzsche

The title sounds blunt, and the quote reinforces it, but it’s true!

This applies to writing, especially on Medium.

I have seen countless articles around Medium complaining out of pure jealousy, stuff like:

Medium just pays the favorites;

Writers are being stolen from;

I write every day, yet I get $20;

…and so on.

The amount of saltiness on Medium is crazy, and the amount of jealousy easily tops that.

Why are you still writing if you don’t believe the platform or its fairness?

If you get paid so low, why don’t you write somewhere you make more?

The truth:

• These people are not good enough OR refuse to take responsibility.

Stop making yourself look petty and jealous; it won’t help you get paid more and certainly won’t help you grow.

Sure, you can attract 10 more followers who also feel jealous and pissed off — but those followers are worth very little too, since they obviously are, like Nietzsche says, inferior!
