No time to read all the comments, but I'm glad you are acknowledging the issues we've all been discussing for weeks (months?).

I have hardly posted a thing for two months because the earnings algorithm just makes no sense. I'll get 2500 claps for one story that makes 40 dollars, and get the same number of claps for a story that was boosted and thus received 4 figures.

I get the concept of curation. But it doesn't work here, so I've moved most of my writing to Substack.

I hope you figure it out, because I do like the Medium platform.
