CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK
Dear Mr. Stubblebine
An open letter to the CEO of Medium
First of all, I want to thank you for the new changes in the monetization policy.
For a long time, most of us felt that writing on Medium was a low-reward chore. We hustled every day, neglecting our passions and selling ourselves for the few daily cents we got in exchange for the long hours of writing we put in.
