The Hustler's Bottom would be a great name for a publication! I hear you. I think there is an imbalance between readers and writers on here. But, there are things you can do. Be the change you want to see, read widely and randomly, there is great stuff on Medium if you look for it. Unfortunately the algorithm will guide you back to writing about writing and writing about earning if you only ever click on one article about them (which we all do at the start of our Medium journey). Keep writing (and reading) in interesting areas. The readers are out there, I do believe that. Good luck.
