It seems Medium is still full of such articles where a lot of writers try to “sell” their own success story and make you read it.

Big applause to your article Tim, which reminds readers about the importance of writing not for the sake of money, but with the purpose of self-education and sharing valuable insights with the world.

Those who have diversified income sources will not suffer from the current situation. If it gets harder to earn on Medium, there are multiple remote jobs for good writers. Content is a new currency nowadays, those who can create it will never end up jobless.
