I'm not presumptuous enough to tell anyone what to do. But my perspective for whatever it's worth: Beware the impulse to 'do something.' If you delete your account you undo the work you've already done. F*ck it and f*ck Medium for being the way that it is. But why quit? There's nothing to stop you sharing your content on Medium and Substack. It's what I do atm. Some money is better than no money. But there's also nothing to stop you writing any place else too. Write what you want to write. You don't have to write unique content for each platform. Just republish it cross platform. I write on Medium and Substack. I previously wrote on NewsBreak too. I became a top writer there (despite being in the UK) then they stopped paying writers per piece and pivoted to US centric local news content. So I deleted my account. But I later regretted it. Not because I was still writing there. But because I can't write there again without starting from scratch. You already have a significant presence on Medium. Keep it.
I imported all my medium stories to Substack and also left them up on Medium. I get less than a dollar per month from Medium, but I’m leaving them up anyway.

Medium has been a big disappointment. Substack has been rewarding.
