Major Reasons Behind Less Compensation
Problem 1: Competition
There is a lot of competition for the Indian Writers. They have to face competition whether they are from the club of newer joining people or from the ones who have joined very early.
Problem 2: Saturation
When compared to other countries, there are less number of paid subscribers from India. There will be a small number of paid readers from India with most others being writers who hope to earn from Medium.
Problem 3: Money Parity
$5 for a first-world country is not the same as in a third-world country. We get Netflix for $2 while in the US it starts from $7. Just for you to understand the value difference.
- Someone earning $100 from the US is not the same as someone from India earning $100. So the reward is good (comparatively).
- Yet, most of the (paid members) audiences are from first-world countries. Again we are going to compete for the share in the same pool.
- To increase the pool size, Medium will eventually try to accommodate more wider audience base.
- In a country like India, most players like Netflix play for the volume of customers.
- If Medium decides to reduce the subscription fees for India, it could be bad for writers.
Problem 4: Algorithms
Medium is changing (experimenting) with the algorithms for the distribution of stories and calculating earnings often. May be too often but it is good for the future scope.
