Congrats, Tessa. I did too, but I thought it was a mistake. I’m not making a big deal out of it as I expect it was a “one and done.” Also, my monthly payout is nothing to crow about, so if yours have increased that dramatically, good for you. I guess I should check! ;-)

I don’t think Medium’s new concentration on writers will affect me in any significant way as my pubs aren’t Medium-sponsored and, whether I publish “wide,” or in one of my pubs, my work is my work. We’ll see, I guess.

And yes, I do put a helluva lot of work into my pubs so I thank you for recognizing that.
