I Don’t Think I Want to Publish on Medium for Awhile
I feel like I am treading water
I believe by now, everyone on Medium, except maybe AI writers and spammers, realizes something is going on with our stats, particularly our earnings. None of us make more than a few pennies a read daily. I have made 11 cents in the past three days!
I see less publishing activity from many writers whom I follow and read frequently because they, like me, have become less motivated to produce work that earns next to nothing.
I have a few drafts that I have been working on, which I feel may attract more attention than usual, but I am afraid to publish them for fear they, too, will earn nothing more than a few pennies. I am contemplating taking a break from publishing anything on Medium until the current situation surrounding earnings is sorted out.
While writing this article, I learned from reading a recent story by Adrian CDTPPW, that there was an article posted on the Medium Blog addressing the troubles we are having. Adrian’s story can be found below.
