I haven't written a non-meta story recently, since my best one earned zero - and is still on zero. One about Alzheimer's earned 8 cents, and one about Parkinson's earned 9 cents. In my world, Medium meta is still the best performing subject.

And yes, it contradicts what Tony says, and makes me wonder if it's time to publish a different topic, but I've had the weekend off.

I've had it confirmed that there are still some people earning as normal, but they don't engage much. They don't try to be part of the community, so maybe it's something in that.
