Medium’s Partner Program in India: Updates, Rumors, and a Sprinkle of Hope
Hey writers, chai lovers, and fellow wordsmiths!
Remember the MPP in India dance we did last summer?
Yeah, me too.
Announced, delayed, fingers crossed, now radio silence…
what’s the deal, Medium?
As writer who’s been glued to this saga, let’s unpack the latest (or lack thereof) and share some honest thoughts.
First, the “official” update,Hold your horses (or bullock carts, if you will).
As of February 6th, 2024, the MPP launch in India is still MIA. The promised “early 2024" seems more like “eventually maybe 2024" at this point.
Frustrating? Absolutely.
Surprising? Not really.
Delays happen, especially when integrating payment systems across borders.
But wait, there’s more (rumors, that is), Whispers suggest Medium might be exploring alternative payment gateways like Razorpay to bypass Stripe hurdles. Could this be the key?
We can only speculate, but hey, any movement is good movement, right?
While we wait, there are some harsh truths to swallow. The Indian creator economy is booming, and Medium is missing a massive opportunity.
Their silence fuels anxieties and might push talented writers to other platforms. It’s not just about money; it’s about recognition and valuing a diverse creator base.
So, what can we do? Don’t lose hope! Keep writing, sharing, and engaging with the platform.
Let your voice be heard, but also be patient. Understand the complexities involved.
And hey, maybe even suggest solutions like Razorpay integration (hint, hint, Medium team!).
Remember, we’re a community.
Let’s support each other, share tips, and keep the creative fire burning. And who knows, maybe one day soon, we’ll be celebrating that long-awaited “Namaste, MPP!”
moment with virtual jalebis and a collective sigh of relief.
Until then, keep writing, keep hustling, and stay awesome!
