If I were getting rich off Medium, I'd understand your point. In reality, I put about 40 hours a month into writing articles, in addition to my day job, at a rate of $5-$15 per hour depending on the algorithm's mood, which helps to bring in a little extra $$ to compensate for my unpaid caregiving work. If anything, the Medium Partner Program underscores the failings of capitalism as much as anything I wrote about in this piece.
