I used to make decent money on Medium and was constantly curated. When I dared to openly criticize platform changes two years ago, however, my views started tanking overnight, and I've never been curated since. I now have over 15K followers but make dramatically less that I did when I had 150 followers. I've never seen a company work so tirelessly AGAINST its writers the way Medium does. If you'd kindly un-blacklist and un-shadowban me, @MediumStaff @ev, I'd be appreciative. I contribute to many of the world's biggest publications (Wall Street Journal, Playboy, Saturday Evening Post, Reader's Digest) and material of the highest professional calibre is something the site is desperately in need of. You should be rewarding professionals, not driving them away.
