Some writers wrote in languages other than English (mainly Chinese) are experiencing significant earning drop after the change. Many of them are considering leave for another platform.
For my case as an example, I earned $274.35 in October, and now $40 with even more quality articles than the last month. That really made me deeply frustrated.
I hope Medium team could check if there is any bug that causes the huge drop of our readership for contents not in English. There must be some bugs. Hope that will be fixed asap, or people who don’t write, read in English will leave.
