To be clear, I was not in any way suggesting the quality of the writing of authors in other countries might be poor and undeserving. Again, I fully support them being paid. What I am asking is for transparency in your accounting. Has Medium just, overnight, greatly increased the pool of writers potentially being paid without a corresponding increase in the number of paying readers? And if so, how many new writers are we now competing with? Furthermore, what is your plan to increase paying readers to bring more balance to the system?
In short, I'm looking for greater transparency on your business strategy as if affects the business strategy of millions of writers on your platform.
