Another fundamental (and blindingly obvious to Medium, you would have thought) failing of the set-up.

I nommed Writer A - they got canned. Bastard! They cost me 45 bucks! Their stuff's no use to me. I'll stick to Writers B and C next month - they earned me a payday last time.

It narrows, rather than broadens the net, and could almost have been deliberately devised to do so.
