I was here for that nosedive that began Dec 2021 and got tanked through spring 2022.

This is nothing like that. Nor is this like the 'glitch' in earnings that the spammers supposedly caused in Sept '23.

There's a lot more going on now. Since July, things have been weird. Almost no boosts, the boost program, which was supposedly 'expanding' in the first half and middle of last year has now been closed to new applications.

This 'glitch' is far worse and longer-lasting that anything I've seen in 3.5 years. Spam-related earnings issues were fixed fairly quickly. Something's not right here.

There are a lot of things about being here that are different from that simple earnings nosedive Marcus mentioned.

I think Medium is dying - or dead - and we're just waiting for the corpse to begin decomposing.

If this thing turns around to where it was, I will be completely shocked.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts - and I love your 'don't panic' pic!! Too funny! 💜
