Medium is Killing Itself With Its Own Silence
I’ve never seen anything like this: A platform choking on its own lack of communication
Nine months to realize this whole story is going down the drain…
The absolute silence of Medium while everything crumbles is like having a partner who ghosts you after years of relationship. I built something here, invested time, energy, words… and now I feel like an idiot talking to myself in an empty room.
Looking at my earnings was like discovering a system glitch. How do we go from earning decent dollars to coffee change? No warning email, no footnote, nothing. It’s the kind of change that makes you question if you’re in an abusive relationship with a platform.
That feeling when you wake up and discover your partner emptied the joint account? Yeah, exactly that.
Let’s talk numbers without sugarcoating.
Imagine your boss cuts 99% of your salary overnight. No explanation. Would you keep working there? That’s exactly what Medium is asking from its creators. And the worst part? People are staying because they’ve built something here they don’t want to abandon.
It’s like being in a toxic relationship — you know you should leave, but there’s so much emotional investment…
