Good point, Edward. When I wrote my farewell story, over 4,000 writers reported experiencing a decline. I also attached a new screen capture showing that the CEO’s statement only accounts for 5% of Medium readers — interestingly, the same percentage as all MPPs. This inadvertently suggests that nearly all writers have been impacted. If that weren’t the case, we wouldn’t have seen an explosion of articles, blog posts, and social media discussions about it in January 2025. A quick Google search reveals the widespread sentiment. You can’t hide the sun.
