AI written articles-not allowed. YOU get paid to write, so write.

If Stripe isn't supported in your country, sorry not sorry, you don't get to write. I was so SICK of all of the "Wah it's not fair!" and "I demand Medium change!" posts flooding my news feed.

2 versions of Medium. Medium for readers. Medium for writers. Wanna write about Medium how-tos. Cool. Encouraged. But non-writers aren't paying to see that type of writing.

And that's just off the top of my head. Algorithm issues need to be fixed. I never see any advertising to encourage people to come to Medium to read so I can't help but wonder if it's all word of mouth. The pay structure needs to be revamped for sure but I haven't been able to figure out just how.
