Finally, Some Good News About Earnings
I randomly found some “official” information
Medium isn’t always the best at communication. Most writers are still in the dark when it comes to the drop in earnings, and it can be hard to find any information.
I’m not here to speculate about things I don’t know, but I figured it would be good to share the information I found in a YouTube video earlier today from Anangsha Alammyan. She discusses some comments the CEO made directly in her writer’s group about the recent drop in earnings.
I also need to thank Gary A J Martin for letting me know about the video.
Long story short, they are still planning to pay writers at a similar rate as it was back in November, but they are still in the process of dealing with the fallout from the suspensions. Tony also mentioned that Medium is not in any financial trouble.
However, the big change is that they will not pay as much for Meta stories. Earnings will remain down for stories about Medium.
The YouTube video is 7:48 long and I recommend everyone to check it out to get the full context. At the 5:53 mark, you can see a screenshot of Tony’s comments.
So, it looks like earnings will eventually return to normal, but Medium is still in the process of testing things.
I’ve included the link to the video below. Feel free to let me know your thoughts about the changes.
