*Time has come for a change in publishing routine*

For a couple of years now, I've been singing the praises of Publish0x, which isn't exactly a Web3 social media platform. However, I would call it a crypto-monetized platform, and, until now, I thought it was one of the best. Recent events have caused me to rethink my commitment to the platform.

I'll keep this short. Here are the three reasons I will be limiting my content on Publish0x:

1.  **Technical issues:** For years, I've used Publish0x with no technical issues. Last Wednesday, however, I tried to publish a blog post and it wouldn't publish. [I published it yesterday instead](https://www.publish0x.com/cryptocracy/billionaire-wants-to-buy-tiktok-host-it-on-polkadot-and-dece-xgvogkl). I'd have published it sooner, but I was traveling. Typically, I do not allow technical issues to divert me from running my business. But when there are other issues too, then I have to rethink my commitment to a platform. That brings me to my second point.
    
2.  **Earnings have declined:** I've mentioned this before. My earnings have fallen from an average of about $10 per month to $1 or $2 per month. This happened after the Publish0x migration to Optimism. While I appreciate that Publish0x pays the gas fees for monetary transfers from users' accounts to external wallets, I have to ask if it is worth my time to continue playing on the platform for the amount of outtake.
    
3.  **Trolls** - I went a long time with no trolls commenting on my posts. Suddenly, trollish comments increased. I've long stated that Publish0x is good for engagement, and I still believe it is. Most of the comments I receive on my posts are from positive contributors. Nevertheless, I have seen an uptick in trollish comments.
    

Any one of these issues by itself would be a nuisance but not enough for me to say goodbye to a platform. But with so many other alternatives, I must decide if my time is well spent. That's why I have decided to pull back on Publish0x for the time being.

That does not mean I am leaving the platform. It simply means I'll be publishing less.

My typical routine is to publish a blog post on [my Paragraph blog](https://paragraph.xyz/@tayloredcontent) first then repurpose it for the various Web3 and crypto-based social media platforms on which I am active. I will continue that routine, but I am not guaranteeing that I will continue publishing to Publish0x. Followers on Publish0x who want to continue reading my content can find me on Paragraph and [Hive](https://hive.blog/@allentaylor). Those are the two platforms I can guarantee I will spend the majority of my time on going forward.

Thanks for understanding. If you read this on Publish0x, look me up on Paragraph or Hive to stay in touch.
