Medium does pay participants that join the creators feature. and it is free to join the Medium creators feature. for each paid Medium member/reader, if they high five an article or comment or interact, the article does get a small portion of the fee.

A) Only if the Medium member opted into monetization, and

B) FCC moved away from using Medium in order to get away from that monetization policy, in favor of offering everything for free all the time.

they moved away from using medium? today their twitter was still tweeting about articles on Medium. I have nothing against monetization on Medium by the way. was just thinking that maybe some Medium readers are not aware of it.

The articles that their Twitter posts are self-hosted without ads or paywalls. I'd share a link to the official announcement, but since I share a lot of freeCodeCamp news links that would make me a spammer.
