Again. My sense is that the publishing field is perhaps too open, too accesible (as big a pain as it is already to publish a story). It seems as though we can submit as one wishes and it seems as though there is no supervision. Yeah I get this can slow everything down, imagine having staffs to go through, word for word every submittal. If you don't clamp down this could get away from you.
I am a starter with Medium but the other day I noticed something in my emails too I just ignored it as I thought I'd unwittingly triggered a response. As I say I am new to this.
