In the comments section of my most popular article ‘Bad News For Publications And Good News For Self-Published Writers’ a lot of writers postulated the death of Medium.

Moreover, I hear people complaining on a regular basis…

My earnings are low.

My views are down.

Here’s my statement:

Medium isn’t dead. It’s evolving as I showed in my article about Medium’s future and about the Medium Gods you should stop complaining to.

Medium is powerful
