I actually had the opposite thing happen to me with the change- in August, I made the most money I ever made per month on Medium. Unfortunately, because of overzealous and ill-tempered monitoring of the comments section (another Achilles heel for Medium), I ended up losing my account there.
Fortunately, I have found a lot of the writers I connected with there (like you) have either moved to Substack and/or other platforms or use Substack only now, so I can keep connected with them and build my own presence here at the same time.
Glad I didn’t lose your support, thank you! Sorry to hear you lost your medium account, but as far as I can tell, Substack is on its way to surpassing it.
