I'm staying. For the time being mostly publishing not paywalled and enjoying not getting aggravated by the zero monetization of much member engagement that Medium states it monetizes (member reads, member clappers, highlighters and new member follows)( that's another part of the history of developments you didn't touch on). As much as I need the aggregate $100 a month I was averaging, the aggravation over seeing just pennies or zero was ruining the energy equation of my experience. Writing a few not paywalled essays has freed me just to enjoy the engagement.
