This happened to me two years ago and stopped writing but recently I started again. They did it only once and openly told them my thoughts and feelings and their editorial team kindly accepted my feedback. I am now happy with NewsBreak as they distribute my stories properly much better than Medium A recent story got over 2 million impressions. You inspired me to write a story about it. NewsBreak is lucky to have you a seasoned, caring, and insightful writer. Perhaps add the "Opinion" before your title which makes editors more flexible in accepting controversial pieces. Here is a sample title: "Opinion: As a Scientist/Former Prediabetic, I Optimistically Believe Type II Diabetes Is Reversible"
