As someone who’s writing on Medium for extra pennies, I have been closely tracking my daily earnings for the past six months. And I have noticed a strange trend: my stats and earnings seem to go up and down alternately each month.

At first, I thought it might just be a fluke, but as the months went on, it became clear that this was a regular occurrence.

Let me explain further.

My Monthly Earnings

At first, I was a bit perplexed by this trend.

Is this just a coincidence? Does it have anything to do with the algorithm? Why would my income be going up and down like a roller coaster?
