Details are in his story by <a href="undefined">Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Tech)</a>: <a href="https://readmedium.com/why-i-became-a-friend-of-medium-392d93abfd62"><b>Why I Became a Friend of Medium</b></a></p></blockquote><p id="93e9">Today, I was busy as it was the last public holiday in Australia. I helped with onboarding around <a href="https://readmedium.com/announcement-of-new-writers-for-illumination-32-581de798d817">100 new writers</a>, so I was able to find around <a href="https://medium.com/@IlluminationYouTubeCoordinator/list/52-look-what-aiden-found-today-c2a1e43d6209">60 great pieces and listed them</a>.</p><p id="4745">As I grappled with the hedonistic treadmill pursuing money and fame, which eventually led to burnout, Dr. Yildiz’s a story deeply resonated with me. It offers valuable insights that can shift perspectives on material possessions and money, perhaps even making it easier to integrate money effortlessly into our lives. <a href="https://readmedium.com/why-i-no-longer-chase-money-how-i-escaped-hedonic-thread-mill-to-find-true-joy-d220c69d5362"><b>Why I No Longer Chase Money &amp; How I Escaped Hedonic Treadmill to Find True Joy</b></a></p><p id="5890">The cloning machine struck again, attempting to cast its shady duplicates <a href="https://readmedium.com/script-teaser-for-my-new-scams-spams-and-the-medium-drama-movie-131c243080a8">in my blockbuster movie</a>. But let me clarify — even if they get down on their knees and beg, these scammers won’t be snagging a role in my soon-to-be award-winning cinematic masterpiece. <a href="https://readmedium.com/yay-i-was-cloned-again-but-i-know-the-scammer-will-kick-the-bucket-soon-74caecfc5b6e"><b>Yay, I Was Cloned Again but I Know the Scammer Will Kick the Bucket Soon.</b></a></p><p id="1b68">I learned that scammers targeted Mike’s beautiful curated collections again <a href="https://readmedium.com/frustration-now-my-account-was-duplicated-4th-times-in-a-week-073c9893c913">after 5th time</a> spamming all the readers pretending to be him. But this time, they used <b>sophisticated methods</b> that Mike revealed in a <a href="https://readmedium.com/battling-scams-my-heartfelt-struggle-against-5-medium-attacks-in-a-week-unveiling-their-latest-b498b836ef50">masterpiece</a>. I think those scammers have no clue that Mike is a seasoned professional and will not allow them to win. That dubious writing club might kick the bucket soon. <a href="https://readmedium.com/battling-scams-my-heartfelt-struggle-against-5-medium-attacks-in-a-week-unveiling-their-latest-b498b836ef50"><b>Battling Scams: My Heartfelt Struggle Against 5 Medium Attacks in a Week, Unveiling Their Latest Tricks</b></a></p><p id="a4dd">One of our consulting editors, <a href="undefined">David B. Grinberg 🇺🇸</a>, wrote an interesting story about the critically important reasons why Medium should be more transparent with users about these phishing scams. <a href="https://readmedium.com/3-reasons-why-medium-should-be-transparent-about-cyber-breaches-9a329ca2f111"><b>Why Medium Should Be Transparent about Clone Phishing Attacks</b></a><b>.</b></p><p id="815d">During our conversations, I gained a deeper understanding of Dr Yildiz’s challenges, and I hope those who sometimes take our volunteer service for granted read this story. Running these Medium publications is no walk in the park. I believe that it’s not all roses and rainbows in the editorial team.</p><p id="0783"><a href="https://readmedium.com/a-rollercoaster-of-my-saturday-challenges-surprises-and-joyful-insights-4888e5aa182a"><b>A Rollercoaster of My Saturday: Challenges, Surprises, and Joyful Insights</b></a></p><p id="07ce">As I curated these gems, I encountered numerous <a href="https://readmedium.com/aha-mastery-6-practical-steps-for-unleashing-creativity-and-boosting-efficiency-d86ad58b4281">“aha” moments </a>— some inducing fits of laughter, others coaxing tears, all painting my journey with vivid emotions. I’m excited to pass on these emotional roller coasters to you, hoping they’ll add a sprinkle of joy or even a smidgen of uncontrollable giggles to your day. Enjoy the ride.</p><p id="d6ff"><a href="undefined">ILLUMINATION</a> editors created <a href="https://readmedium.com/community-announcement-concerns-for-growing-spam-and-scam-accounts-on-medium-6ca4dafb8655">an important bulletin</a> for increasing spam, scam, and bot accounts, contaminating the platform and causing grief to writers and readers.
