Given the monetary value of business Illumination brings to Medium, I am quite frankly appalled at the Cavalier fashion they treat us with. I am especially disappointed, as a hard working voluntary editor, that my and my fellow editors work is so little thought of. Medium, please wake up to the fact that given the recent drop in my monthly reader income, as a result of your efforts to cut costs by curtailing wider distribution, I effectively work for you for nothing, nada, zero, zilch. I hope you feel very proud of yourselves for such blatant financial advantage taking from a senior citizen with a peanuts pension. The only reason I have not already left is my loyalty to Dr Yildiz and his publications.
