My earnings dropped from 5-7$ to 0.5$-0.7$ each day. For me, involving the read ratio is extremely bad. I write programming articles and for most of them, you need some focus because they are complex and often need your computer to check the code. Therefore, the read ratio is low but the (member) reading time is high. If somebody reads the article, she reads it for a longer time. In my opinion, the new remuneration is really bad for articles like mine and should be changed. For technical articles, there is no financial incentive anymore.

I wrote an article about problems with the new remuneration system. https://readmedium.com/the-new-medium-partner-program-is-bad-for-quality-writing-and-for-me-59bffa93433f
