It seemed pretty offhand/casually dismissive in tone. I think there are a lot of changes happening, maybe it will get better but I wasn't impressed with that either. Yes I have just as many if not more Medium meta in my feed too. I didn't realize you could earn on Vocal without being a paid member, you do earn less percentage wise and can't enter the contests or edit (bleurgh) so I am going to see if I can earn enough to justify the Vocal plus outlay.
