Thanks for raising your concerns, Leonard. I also noticed the downward trend starting in December with my earnings less than half my usual monthly average. You are probably right that it saturated with the spike in views/plummet in reads day on the 6th.

Earnings for articles so far this month continue to be very low as well, but let’s hope things turn around (as they have in the past.) I didn’t start writing here for the money, and community is what is most important to me, so I won’t be going anywhere else like Substack etc.
