This could be a good thing. But it might also mean less money for the writers. It might also cause lots of members to create new unnecessary publications to earn money. A bit like how the affiliate programme cause lots of us to start trying to bring in new members.

It's a good job for Tony that Medium limits the number of publications we can own, because if he was to pay us $10 per week per publication, I would create 100 publications and happily earn $1,000 per week 😆
