Since 2018 when I purchased my first medium membership I must confess I used my membership to read more than post. I do recall earning more Partner Program dollars before all the August 2023 changes.

Today? Yes, I upgraded to the Friends tier to boost other Friend-tier members' income. I love supporting awesome creators. Knowing Friends of Medium earn 4x's the Partner Program bene's - thrills me.

This topic is also a GREAT topic for our next Medium Writers Panel Discussion. Everyone is welcome to join us in a lively event. See you in May?
