Unprofessional Editors at Illumination

I use to write for the publication Illumination, which stopped when the editors for the publication were exposed as the jerks they are.

I wrote a story on how to make 7,000 dollars a month from substack.

In this article I mistakenly put that substack is a new platform, even though it was created in 2017, which is relatively new, but I digress. This was the response by one of the editors Marcus:

I am not sure what editor tells a writer to “get their act together”. Marcus and I do not know each other, we are not friends, and his behavior is extremely unprofessional. However, rather than acknowledging his unprofessional behavior, he doubles down.

DMY is an acronym for Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, he is the owner of the Illumination publication. I did bring these issues up with Dr. Yildiz, but Marcus’s actions get even worse.
