I haven’t made a firm decision yet, but if my earnings on Medium drop below $50/month, it might be time to pull the plug. Shame. I don’t understand their business model anymore. There’s no reason to write there versus your own blog. I do not like the substack model, but if I was going to do that, why give them any money? I can set up my own paywall. I hate that video is the driver now. I’d so much rather read than watch.
