I had success with them. They reached out and within 24 hours of me accepting, my story was published. Sam even added me to Slack. He seems genuine, maybe he's backlogged. I will say I submitted another article https://asus-butterfly.medium.com/tabitha-browns-example-for-responding-to-negativity-54e64bdc158e?sk=dc2a4b69f475d7414554890a557ec3ea , since I'm now a writer for the pub, and it hasn't made it to the publication, but I had already self-pub'd it, so it is okay, but I thought I would use it as an opportunity to get more readers. I don't think my first article got much readership, but it could be the subject/title more so than the pub. https://blog.usejournal.com/what-freedom-means-to-asus-butterfly-f0eeead9864f?sk=e003cf94b891c26a0435709df999458f
