A.J., these changes were made for you and that is why you are earning more albeit not so much. With all due respect, you are part of the 80 percent of writers who produce 20 percent of the content. Medium wants to keep you guys happy by tossing some extra earnings your way. The 20 percent of content creators, who write 1 and 3 articles a day of quality stuff, were making between $1,000 and $7,000 a month--some even more. Medium decided to cut the earnings of these writers by 200 and 300 percent. It also accepted the fact that many of them would leave the platform but many out of no-where to go would stay. So, Medium loses 10 percent of content creators, retains 10 percent who are pissed off and makes the 80 percent happy as pigs in shit. Congrats on hitting your target. I used to know how that felt on Medium.
