Agreed on this. I haven't been as consistent publishing on Youtube but my income is staying pretty steady. I'm choosing to double down on Youtube and my own blog as Medium has just tanked.
I'll keep my toe in, keep testing and because I republish the same work to my blog and here I'll post it. But it's not where my focus is going to be. Even spending time reading and interacting doesn't seem to give earnings a boost like it used to.
