I haven't even been on Medium for a month yet and haven't reached my 100 minimum followers to be eligible for MPP but already I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth the trouble, and after reading this piece I'm even more discouraged. I mean, you're right! What's the point of busting my butt contributing high-quality content on this platform if it's not going to be widely shown to those who follow me? I'll give it a few more months incase Ev and his team heed your advice and things improve, but if not, I'll probably ditch Medium. Thanks for sharing your own experience!
