Thanks for sharing the stats on your earnings from Medium. I know this was not the goal of your article but it is still insightful on the level of "passive" income that the program can generate. Medium, Substack and others all have the same model, you get a share of their revenues. If their revenues are slowing down, you get the same share of a smaller pie. And then, they will reward the writers that create more traffic for them.
And on your topic of self confdence in situations that throw setback at you, I think it is normal to reflect on your situation and wonder if the battle is worth the fight. It is more about figuring what you will gain out of it. You may lose this fight but you may win on experience for the next fight. You may decide not to despair and keep fighting but at the same time to keep fighting a battle you cannot win, can be a waste of energy that could be put to a better use. No one can make that decision for you.
