As for income, when Medium did the big changes last year, articles that would make me $200-300 a month before brought in $20-70 instead, for same number of readers. Medium was becoming a very solid income stream for me that I was going to invest more time in. Now I might write 1-2 a month if at all. And I'm certainly a Zionist. So you can put that little conspiracy theory to bed right now. You still have us ruling the world and using space lasers to fall back on.
