I want Medium to explain to me why my earnings are half what they were in January. I believe the audio mode has a trick to it that if you don't follow the writer does not get credit for the read. I'm waiting to hear. I'm reading, commenting, and writing twice as much as I did in January. I know many are saying their earnings have gone down but to be cut in half is too much. I'm seriously thinking of leaving because I need a part-time job to make a certain amount per month extra and Medium WAS filling that need. I spend hours and hours on here, too. It's affecting my life. I dis friends and family and don't get any exercise. It's not good for me. How do you budget your time? Sorry to rant. Thank you for reading my stories!
