Hello Buster.

As requested, I have gone through my earnings and stats to provide you some fair comparisons that show the huge disparity between Oct and early Sept. Have a look at the following:

Manifesting A 92% Pay Cut

75 Views, 58 Reads, 44 Fans

Oct 14 -- $3.03 (4 min satire)

compared to

Medium Introduces Back-Patting

79 Views, 44 Reads, 40 Fans

Sept 2 -- $16.00 (3 min satire)

or again,

Precious Little Things

85 views, 45 reads, 55 fans

Oct 19 -- $3.46 (2 min poem)

compared to

Eluding The Algorithm

78 views, 48 reads, 50 fans

Sept 11 -- $16.00 (2 min poem)

and lastly,

Gertrude Stein's Salon

63 views, 35 reads, 35 fans

Oct 21 -- $2.35 (2 min satire)

and

ChatPTSD's Twisted Tapestries

50 views, 32 reads, 30 fans

Oct 13--$1.55 (4 min satire)

compared to

An App Called Medium Rare

78 Views, 44 Reads, 47 fans

Sep 6--$13.00 (2 min satire)

You will see from all these comparisons between stories with fairly similar stats and lengths and genres but with massive differences in earnings, the general trend I've experienced throughout the month of October. As echoed in the comments of your update, many other writers are experiencing the same thing. This is why it is upsetting to hear Medium continually repeat that this problem has been fixed in the first week of October. It is also upsetting to hear that many writers have seen their earnings increase during this time. The question is why?

None of us have changed our genre or style from before the alleged fraud incident, so what changed?

Why are some accounts taking longer than others to return to the August pay rate?

Will we be getting reimbursed for all of the days in October that we experienced a 90% pay reduction?

Or will the reimbursement only be from Sept 25 to early Oct?

If you could answer these questions here or in your email to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.
