As a poet here who was doing well and starting to feel like I had a good thing that would add to my sad adjunct income, yes, seeing that my work is worth .06 cents a day when it was worth 15 dollars a day just last month, is upsetting. I want to protest something. This change was not warranted it was just that too many of us were making too much money so something had to be done — oh and by too much money I mean like over 100 a month, LOL — I want someone to start a new Medium lol, this one has pretty much said poetry and humor and shorter pieces are worthless but go ahead and skim a 7 minute article on sex or productivity again, guys, that’s quality stuff.
