Chapter 1: The Month in Review

As June comes to a close, it's time for Medium writers to reflect on their experiences. How did the month treat you? Did you meet your writing goals?

This month has been a rollercoaster, filled with its share of challenges and successes. For many, this June may stand out for various reasons, particularly the negative aspects. If you found this month particularly challenging compared to others, please share your thoughts.

What were the highlights and lowlights of your writing journey this month? Let’s start with the positive developments:

Positive Changes:

• Implementation of the AI Content Ban: We have noticed a significant decrease in AI-generated content, which often lacks genuine human emotion and insight.
• Increase in Engagement: With the updated Medium algorithm, engagement levels have risen. It’s crucial to connect with fellow writers; simply publishing articles without interaction will not yield visibility.

Now, I invite you to share your positive experiences from this month as a Medium writer.

Negative Changes:

• Removal of Read Time Metrics
• Unjust Writer Bans: Many writers faced bans without prior warnings.
• Decline in Earnings: Many have reported a drop in their earnings.
• Exclusion from the Partner Program

This section is open for you to discuss any negative experiences you've encountered as a Medium writer this month.

Final Thoughts

How did June fare for you? Were your goals achieved?

Looking ahead, what are your plans considering these changes? Personally, I intend to remain active on the platform. I look forward to reading more of your work and continuing our engagement. Even if your experience has been less than favorable, consider staying a bit longer to see if conditions improve.

See you all next month!
