Last November, I wrote an article about Umair Haque. It got both fans and critics of this writer to respond. I earned about $60 (my best article in four years of being on Medium)

I just published another Umair article. It has a few more days before the stale date, but it seems be on track for $5 to $10. While this is better than my average, it is not in line with the previous Umair article.

Medium is too much of a mystery. I wonder if that is a reason why there is a high turnover of contributors.

In October 2021, I wrote an article about how Medium could structure itself such that everyone knows the rules of the game.

Basically, writers vote for other writers as to who moves into the higher spots.
