Pile of S#@$ for ya…Snow. Snow. by Katie.

You know how I hate rants but there is a time for everything and this is it! I will publish the last rants on Jan 13, 3:00 PM USA Central Time.

Tea with Katie and her seed catalog.

My first thoughts regarding Medium’s explanation for Zero Earnings.

To protect our earnings and reputation from bots, AI, and gamers, Medium has taken decisive action.

…we’ve made some tweaks to the way earnings are calculated to better reward genuine behavior and discourage gaming. Scott Lamb

Tweaks?

They tweaked ya all out of any earnings.

I am confused about how withholding earnings from HUMAN writers who have been loyal to the platform protects us from bots, AI, and gamers!!

Here is the article if you have not seen it. Please read Roz Warren, Writing Coach’s story. She says it best.

Here is what Matthew wrote about them not telling us.

Share your frustrations in comments and stories.

We are in this together.
