I am basically in the same camp as Mikeala

Earnings overall are down, we all know that, but people are still making money on Medium

One of our students just wrote a piece that made $1,000 bucks last week

Writers like Eve Arnold and Mona Lazar are trending up.

Many of my newer students are trending up. Some are getting boosted.

Speaking of the boost, time will tell, but it looks like there's some promise there.

Medium is still great for traffic, too! I wrote here for free, for years, just for the traffic.

The Golden Age is long gone, 100%, but Medium is still a very very useful platform if you change your strategy and what you want to get from it.
