If you are not the copyright owner on my articles and comments, then how is it that you make decisions for us about copyright? I know you don't actually care about the writers (evidenced by your search engine 'improvements') but pretending to care about feedback is not a good look. And violating our right to copyright is possibly a legal problem.

You would do much much better if you invited the best theoretical IP attorneys in the world to write member stories on unbiased details of high quality reasoned proposals. Some of these great minds and scholars at least used to be Medium members. You should sponsor a Medium magazine which provides high quality deep studies on what we, the owners of the copyright, can do, and you should promise to support whatever we individually choose as case law is developed for giving copyright owners control over their copyrights in the new age of infroperty.

Also getting rid of writers concerned with science and engineering is, as I have suggested before, a bad look. As someone told me when I worked in management at a Fortune 50: Stay in your lane. Otherwise you might find yourself the target of copyright lawsuits because, frankly, you don't actually listen (except to $$s I guess). These 'hard decisions' you make up could be the basis if you block our copy rights. The old Medium was very attractive because you had thought out the IP issues so well. Seems like you are forgetting. (I was an invited guest on the ABA Technical Committee for IP Law for about a decade... the great scholars are out there).
