Since January, and Medium’s cracking down on spammers and scammers and people gaming the system, my earnings have dropped dramatically.

Check out this screenshot of my earnings the last few months in January, February and so far this month in March. Just a few bucks. Less than five dollars! And you’ll see my previous earnings before that, too.

Look at this! Just look. It’s…piddly.

So, based on the fact that I’m not making enough to even buy a couple of snacks from my works snack area, I’ve decided to make the decision to focus my time and energy on my Substack.

I’m posting content on my Substack first, and then sharing the content on Medium second.

However, don’t fear if you’re a writer for any of my 4 publications!
