If Medium do not take action soon the I fear we are going to see a mass exodus of excellent writers like yourself and your peers for greener pastures. I am actually seriously considering leaving the platform, and not just for the scamming and faking. I too have seen my figures adversly affected by the new system. At one time I became acustomed to seeing all of my stories being curated for wider distribution. Now I never get a boost and my monthly financial return has dropped significantly.
