That's true, Bella, but the thing is, if they start paying us again, I'll be afraid to move here. Afraid to clap, to read someone's post simply becasue previously they have read mine - maybe they blame me for being in a recoprocation circle becasue I have around fifteen writers around me - you included - whose stories I love and who love my stories. Yes, we read each other, and we read each other genuinley. I can't change that and I don't want to. That was the spirt of Medium, the mutual appreciation, respect, and friendship. I don't want to live here in fear.

If they choose to keep the low earnings, it will be entirely different story. Then I'll read and write without fear.

I wonder if it's not the better option.

For now, I'm just waiting.
