Lots of great points in this article, many of which I agree with. What's absent is the acknowledgement of the importance of the audience. The gatekeepers generally represent the audience/market the content is being published for. Take the movie industry for example. The highest paid actors of color don't make movies that appeal to audiences of their own ethnicity. They make movies for audiences that are more greatly represented in the United States, mostly white people. At the end of the day, that's where the money is. With this all in mind and the fact that the audience completely missed the importance of the audience in this rant, I can't help that this is the reason she's still feeling this frustration as it's the gatekeepers that she complains about that understands that audience better than she does. If she understood that audience, she would have at least acknowledged the importance of appealing to them in her post.
