Abstract
The content shared on the website pertains to an impending announcement regarding modifications to Medium's earnings structure. It suggests that the platform may be shifting its focus towards readers who engage exclusively with individual creators' work. An editor's note indicates that the only confirmed change so far is the implementation of rate limiting. Additionally, the author references two of their articles on the subject, one of which discusses the potential reasons behind changes in Medium's earnings model, emphasizing that the opinions expressed are personal and not endorsed by Medium as an official statement.
Opinions
FYI, everyone. In case you haven’t read this yet. There should be an official announcement soon. Edited to add that it seems like our “ideal” reader now is someone who only reads / engages with our work and nobody else’s lol.
P.S. I have written a second piece on this if you’re interested.
