I have done several self revealing articles--and there is no correlation from my end.
Here is one from two years ago:

I wasn't on MPP at that time, but this article did not go far.

My big earning theme is "controversy with a celebrity in the title". I sometimes get $10+, but this theme can produce closer $1. No guarantee.
And I have to say that I don't really enjoy degrading someone else--even though I have a point to make.
I have another article with this theme coming up soon.

And I have annoyed a few people. They were initially sympathetic to my cause. They are still active on Medium, but they don't talk to me any more. I guess I have responded too many times with my preaching.
