Huh? Upgrading doesn’t change distribution.
But it does give YOU more money. I upgraded because I want the people I read — like you — to make more money. Because I want to be able to share stories I read — like those from you— and have the author make more money.
It also gives Medium more money. I want Medium to survive because I want to read here and I want to write here.
If you think Medium isn’t worth $15 a month, don’t upgrade. You’ll still benefit from those of us who do.
