I'm getting more and more fed up with Medium. I had over 3k reads of a recent story, add followers every month, write and comment a lot, and my "earnings" keep going down, down, down. The 3k reads story has made less than 25 cents. I might not even make my monthly sub fee back this month.
Medium promised me they're working on a better payment algorithm, but I told them if they don't improve this soon, I'm going to Substack. At least any paid subs I get there will be mostly going to me.
