I published less on Medium in February because I was busy finalizing my next book. That book on political ideologies will be released by the end of March. The publicists say they need to do some magic first. Sadly, no interview on the Daily Show is yet scheduled.
Other writers on Medium tell me that their February numbers were down from their average views. I also experienced that, and a slightly lower percentage of articles Boosted. I did, however, have a much higher percentage of articles shadow banned.
