I read the same article from *cough* Tom. I've been on Medium for almost 5 years and my earnings have dropped 80% like most of those OGs. I don't want to bite the hand that once fed me or continues to feed me, no matter how small. It's funny how they would have built email lists and networks from the same platform and those people pay them for courses and coaching which would not have been possible without Medium. The algorithm has changed and you need to change too. Medium still has great Domain Authority so you may need to take and SEO approach and use it to build your audience, the monetize from there.
