Oliver Bateman Does the WorkVerified account

Having a day job means I have less time for writing overall but I never have to write a story I'm not all-in for, for an editor I don't like working with, for a piddling sum that isn't worth the over-rigorous editing process. I enjoy working with the places where I publish

You can also enjoy the Bateman Promise (TM) that I'm never going to adjust the content to suit the tastes of analytics-hungry editors. My positions aren't tied to the positions of these people logrolling each other's work. No Trump, gaslighting, toxic masc, etc. That's all shit

I did that a few times and it broke my spirit. I also wrote some horrible hot take pieces under the bylines of other pypo that shocked my conscience. I couldn't believe what it was really like out there, how the sausage got made in those dark satanic content mills
