I read your link. It seems Medium is close to a tipping point of no return, a reverse network effect like an imploding crypto bubble. The CEO's approach resembles the Catholic Church's circle the wagons institutional self-defense of its pedophile priests.

I write for the audience I've built over nearly five years, not the trivial amount of money writing earns. It used to be enough to call it a nice to have. Since the cull in April 2024, it's irrelevant.

That your recent articles have fewer views than my niche articles tells us both that your articles were targeted for invisibility.

I'll be 70 next week and play basketball 5x/week. I'm utterly uninterested in spending time promoting what I write. Medium is the only platform I know of where I can publish while outsourcing everything but the writing. But if you know of another, tell me.
