Dear Writers and Readers,

Two days ago, I published a heartfelt story with optimism, hoping to address what I initially thought was a temporary issue. Unfortunately, the situation turned out to be more complex and disappointing than I had imagined.

The unexpected response from Medium’s leadership shifted my optimism to disappointment. As an established writer and leader of a vibrant community, I did not anticipate being labeled as a spammer by a flawed algorithm. I have always considered myself a valuable contributor to the platform’s growth.

I was not alone in being labeled as a spammer by the faulty algorithm designed hastily, disadvantaging thousands of authentic voices and even increasing the spam rate more, contradicting what Scott said as they cloned him multiple times today. I felt sorry for him as I was cloned countless times and understood the psychological pain of being abused by scammers.

A significant and sudden decline in earnings in the last few days has affected thousands of authentic writers…
