I'm dipping my feet into Substack as well after writing on Medium for three years. I do hope they fix whatever is happening over there, but I'm also happy to try something new. Deep breaths!

Yes, Jill I hope things will get better on Medium but it can never be relied on. Great you're branching out too on Substack.

I love the Medium community, too. As you said, they may not fix their issues. They probably can get away with it because they know how many of us value our friends and followers there. I'm debating changing my FOM membership back to the regular one. I'm going to wait and see what happens next month. If views and earnings are still tanking, I'll make the switch. It's really disappointing.

Yes, I think they know what they're doing. I have downgraded from FOM. Many have. I won't change back unless there is a huge difference.
