If I remember correctly, back in 2020? No clue if it was actually him or a staffer, but that was the rumor. And they've definitely throttled earnings for those who write about sexuality. It was possible to make 1k+ a month prior to this (some made a lot more)

From that point on, most articles about sex or sexuality were no longer featured on the front page, and it definitely appears not much as changed. My work barely gets seen unless it's by someone who is already following me.

I took your advice and started doing more over on Substack, so fingers crossed it will be of benefit in the next year. I enjoy your work, btw!
