Yayyyyy Iva! That’s growth. And I’ve got thoughts. For one, since this is all about Medium and the algorithm, it should be unlocked 😉

Right now, more people are locking stories than ever. There’s more competition than even a couple months ago. I think that impacts payouts.

The algorithm, per Medium, is a combination of claps from paying members and how long readers read your story.

So if a story makes less, you might look to see if there were a lot of claps from non members. And was the story on the short side?

Keep at it! You’re awsome!
