Hi James, I have noticed the same changes! I too support a family based on what I used to earn from Medium. I wrote 2 or 3 GOOD articles a day. Between $80 and $120 was my average earnings. In the first two days of the month, I have earned $22 and $27 respectively. But, I know who IS earning. MEDIUM. The Kool-Aid drinkers here gleefully cheering on good old Buster Boy and his Medium minions might be happy earning $5 a day. But I am now scrambling and wondering how I pay the rent! I hear you, brother, and I have been in absolute shock since I woke up on August 1st and saw "story earnings" $22...I am beside myself with raw emotion.
