Wow, things change fast here. I don’t pay close attention to the money, but I did sense that dip. I haven’t published in several weeks, so I wasn’t alarmed. But this sudden shift in the business’s capitalistic philosophy is disheartening. The coach blew it with me when he offered Jenny Lane that comment about rate-limiting. It’s more like they expanded the definition to include choking off humanity. It’s insulting to those who follow the writing they enjoy and earn by how they choose to engage with it. That’s the way quality writing and informed reading are generated. It’s a philosophical model that includes editors, pub owners, Medium Staff, and the entire platform. As for being compensated? People are passionate about the money on Medium. I love this comment, Misbah:

Is it unjust to seek equal treatment for all?

If it’s something we love to share (writing/reading), then the earnings would be shared equally. I’m okay with that. Others aren’t. Where’s the love?
