Yobi sorry to hear your news.

The way I think of things, since heading down the path of what I think is a much greater cause than the one I used to follow for personal gain; I don’t care if anyone steals anything I write in Medium. In fact I really hope they do, and even become famous with it, because then the material is out there where it needs to be to fix anything, and perhaps it will fix some problems, and perhaps we’ll have a much better world, much sooner.

I would expect in that new world, no-one would feel any need to colonialise information and knowledge any longer, things will be very different with the incentive for profit pretty much removed.
